Answer:
Sperm undergo more mitotic cellular divisions than egg and therefore have a higher risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.
Explanation:
As you have seen in the question above, lycanthropy is a mutation that is more likely to be established as the supply of male gametes comes from older men. This is because sperm undergo more mitotic cell divisions than eggs, and therefore are at greater risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.
In order for you to understand this, you need to know that eggs (which are female gametes) are produced at once in a woman's body. Thus, cell division is limited and therefore the opportunity for spontaneous mutations to occur is also limited. However, men produce sperm from adolescence to death, creating the need for countless cell divisions, which can develop genetic errors that create spontaneous mutations in gametes.
Plants capture sunlight to acquire energy needed to produce their own food. Photosynthesis uses light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration provides usable energy for the cell in the form of ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are products of cellular respiration.
For the first one I’d say D
The answer for the 2nd one is C.
Answer:
All the different plants, animals, fungi, microorganisms, and variety of ecosystems found on Earth
Explanation:
Biodiversity can be broken down into "Biological" and "diversity" which means the how diverse in number and variety is the life found on Earth. Life represents all living organisms like plants, animals, microbes etc.
Based on this, all the different plants, animals, fungi, microorganisms, and variety of ecosystems found on Earth is the option that best defines biodiversity. The other options leaves out the variety (talked about only one species) and biological aspect of the term.
