During fertilization, a _sperm_ and _egg_ combine to form a _zygote_.
Sperm and egg (gametes) are both haploid, and the fertilized zygote is diploid.
Without decomposers, dead leaves, dead insects, and dead animals would pile up everywhere. Imagine what the world would look like! More importantly, decomposers make vital nutrients available to an ecosystem's primary producers—usually plants and algae.
Answer:D) Decomposers break down the remains of producers and consumers
Explanation:A biotic pool is a tidal pool with diverse and changing habitats of living factors. We can say they are important mini ecosystems within the larger ecosystem.
The abiotic pool involves the elemental phases of nature,the non living parts of the ecosystem. Decomposition (break down) of elements/organic compounds is the characteristic bridge between both pools into what is known as nutrients.
This tell us that the ultimate dead part of producers and consumers are used up in this process.
Some of the nutrients released in the biogeochemical cyclic process includes sulfur and phosphorus and they move through the ecosystem.
Note: The biogeochemical cycle is a pathway of movement for chemical elements.
The chemical elements in nature moves through both biotic and abiotic components via abiotic and biotic interaction in the ecosystem
Few abiotic factors includes rocks, air, water, and chemicals while biotic factors includes living organisms activities.
All living and non living elements of nature play vital roles in the great biogeochemical cycle.
The answer is 2. This is why their autosomal cells are referred to as diploid in chromosome number. The gametes have only one set of chromosomes. The homologous pair (sister chromosome) separate during meiosis I. If there was an extra chromosome in addition to this set then this would cause a condition called aneuploidy.
Linnaeus. Carolus Linnnaeus is a Swedish naturalist whose lasting achievement is binomial nomenclature; it is a system of naming and classifying plants and animals according to genus and species.
