The correct answer is 4. Plants.

Plants use carbon dioxide for the photosynthesis process where they use carbon dioxide to form energy rich molecules and release oxygen to the atmosphere. The carbon is present in atmosphere as carbon dioxide in higher concentration and methane in lower concentration. Carbon dioxide is removed by several processes such as by the formation of carbonic acid when the surface ocean water cool down and absorb more carbon dioxide near the poles, through conversion of the reduced carbon to carbonates or organic tissues like shells and by photosynthesis of plants which is an exchange process where plants absorb carbon dioxide and in turn release oxygen.

If you cross a mule and a horse, you get a donkey. How many chromosomes does a donkey have?

madreJ [45]

Answer:

What are the mechanisms by which aneuploidy and polyploidy are caused? What are the mechanisms by which aneuploidy and polyploid

sleet_krkn [62]

The correct answer is:

The principal cause of aneuploidy is chromosome nondisjunction during mitosis or meiosis. Polyploidy in nature can result either from the duplication of euploid chromosome sets from a single species or from the combining of chromosome sets from different species.

Aneuploidy is a phenomenon when there is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell (an extra or missing chromosome). Usually it appears as a result of improper cell division (chromosomes don’t separate) and it can cause many genetic disorders.

Polyploidy refers to a state when there are more than two sets of chromosomes (one from mother one from father). Triploid (three sets of chromosomes) and tetraploid (four sets of chromosomes) chromosomes are examples of polyploidy. This phenomenon is most common in plants.
