<h2><u>Full Question:</u></h2>

Which statement is not an accurate description of meiosis? A) Meiosis produces offspring that are genetically diverse. B) Meiosis produces offspring that are identical to the parent. C) In sexual reproduction half of the genetic material comes from the father (sperm) and half of the genetic material comes from the mother (egg). D) Meiosis decreases the number of chromosomes by half so that when a sperm fertilizes an egg, the resulting zygote has the correct number of chromosomes

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

Meiosis produces offspring that are identical to the parent.

Option B.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Meiosis is a type of cell division that is generally seen during then gametogenesis of the higher animals where the diploid cells become haploid, thereby reducing the chromosome number of cell to half. This meiotic division ensures that the gametes produced are haploid in nature, so that when they fuse the zygote becomes diploid. And the meiosis also involves the steps like  and indepencrossing overdent assortment which ensures that the offsprings produced are not identical to each other or with the parent as well. So the statement that meiosis produces identical offsprings is false.

Each fossil with the layer where it will be present based on are layer A-BIRDS, layer B -dinosaurs , layer C-amphibians, layer D-Corals ,layer E -trilobites.

<h3>What is the oldest fossil layer?</h3>

The Pilbara area of western Australia's Strelley Pool is home to the oldest known fossils. Stromatolites are fossilized mats of microorganisms wedged between sedimentary layers. The fossils have an age of 3.4 billion years.

<h3>How are the layers containing the fossils organized?</h3>

The Law of Superposition, which asserts that in undisturbed rock sequences, the bottom layers are earlier than the top ones, is the foundation for this theory. Because of this, certain fossil discoveries can be dated using the strata—a particular stratum of rock—in which they were discovered.

The structures present on the underside of leaves of terrestrial plants that help reduce transpiration are?​
inysia [295]

Answer:

They are called Stomatas.

Explanation:

A waxy cuticle covers all aerial surfaces of land plants to minimize water loss. These leaf layers are clearly visible in the scanning electron micrograph. The numerous small bumps in the palisade parenchyma cells are chloroplasts.

Short definition of amoeba​
Dimas [21]
Amoeba: Also ameba. A single-celled (protozoan) organism that constantly changes shape. The word "ameba" is from the Greek "amoibe" meaning "change." Ameba can infect the bowels to cause diarrhea and the liver to cause abscess formation. Here is more information. The definition of an amoeba is a one-celled organism, common in water and soil, possessing no set cell organs, structure, or defining shape. An example of an amoeba is an invisible organism called Entamueba histolytica which is found in tropical areas that are unclean, and causes the deadly disease dysentery. Hope this helps!

How can fat loss and cellular respiration help if you eat more than 6-9 teaspoons of sugar a day?
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

For those who eat a well-balanced diet and have no metabolic disorders, excess dietary carbohydrates are converted by the liver into complex chains of glucose called glycogen. Glycogen is stored in liver and muscle cells and is a secondary source of energy to freely circulating blood glucose.
