The nail breathes oxygen to live. The nail breathes the oxygen dissolved in the water.


Given that the aquarium is a small bioma there is not enoguh source of oxygen to replace the oxygen consumed by the snail, except for the oxygen produced by the aquatinc plants inside the aquarium.


Plants produce oxygen through the process named photosynthesis. Photosynthesis requires light.


Given that the aquarium is kept dark, the aquatic plants cannot carry out the process of photosyntthesis and so there will not be generation new oxygen and the snails will die after they do not have oxygen to breath.

The spindle apparatus disintegrates during _____. anaphase telophase interphase metaphase
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer;

-Telophase

Explanation;

-The spindle apparatus disintegrates during the telophase of mitosis. Telophase is the final stage of mitosis.

-During this phase, the sister chromatids reach opposite poles. The small nuclear vesicles in the cell begin to re-form around the group of chromosomes at each end.

-As the nuclear envelope re-forms by associating with the chromosomes, two nuclei are created in the one cell. Telophase is also marked by the dissolution of the kinetochore microtubules and the continued elongation of the polar microtubules.

A daughter has hemophilia a recessive sex-linked what are the possible genotypes of her parents
marishachu [46]

Answer:

If a female child has hemophilia it is possible that the mother is a carrier of the hemophilia gene and the father has hemophilia.

Explanation:

  • A daughter gets X chromosome from both her parents.
  • It is generally seen in males.
  • Hemophilia is generally recessive in females.They act as carriers of hemophilia. This occurs because they have a X chromosome that dominates the hemophilia affected gene that they inherit from any parent.
  • But, if both the parents have faulty genes ,i.e the mother is the carrier of the gene and the father is hemophiliac, then the chances are the daughter has hemophilia too.
