Answer:

Most fossils are found in sedimentary rocks, those rocks produced by the accumulation of sediment such as sand or mud. Wind and other weathering conditions wash away sediment on land, depositing it in bodies of water. For this reason, fossils of sea creatures are more common than those of land creatures.

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

double fertilization

Explanation:

Flowering plants or angiosperms are seed-producing plants with the ability to produce reproductive organs-flowers and fruits with seed in it (unlike gimnosperms which contain naked seed). Another distinctive feature of angiosperms is their reduced gametophytes. This feature most likely reduces the time between pollination and fertilization. Fertilization in flowerin plants is double, meaning that two sperm cells fertilize ovule cells(egg cell and central nuclei cell): one forms diploid zygote which will develop in embryo, while other form triploid cell which will develop into endosperm (provides nutrition for the embryo).

Fatty acid metabolism disorder is an autosomal recessive disorder. Two unaffected parents have 6 children - all of whom are unaf
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

There are only 2 possible genotypes for the mother, FF and Ff.

Explanation:

Because it is an autosomal inheritance, this case F will be the dominant allele and f the recessive allele, where f produces Fatty acid metabolism disorder. If the mother does not possess the disorder, she must possess at least one dominant allele for that specific gene. However, for the other allele, we cannot assure that it is dominant, since it can be recessive and not express itself either in her or in the offspring, because of the father we also only know his dominant allele.
