Answer:

The correct answer is c. insulate and protect the fetus.

Explanation:

The amniotic fluid is a clear or yellowish liquid that surrounds and protects the fetus as it grows during pregnancy. This liquid consists of 97% water and contains salts, minerals and other substances that help the fetus to mature, and it also provides a constant temperature. The functions of the amniotic fluid are varied, but its main task is to act as a protective barrier (protecting the fetus from external shocks) and provide the fetus with water and mineral salts. On the other hand, being a sterilized medium, it insulates the fetus from possible maternal infections.

Answer: C. insulate and protect the fetus

Explanation: Amniotic fluid is the fluid that surrounds and protects an embryo while it is growing in the uterus. It serves as a cushion for the growing fetus, but also serves to facilitate the exchange of nutrients, water, and biochemical products between mother and fetus. It also protects the developing baby by cushioning against blows to the mother's abdomen, allowing for easier fetal movement and promoting muscular/skeletal development.

Give an example of how migration affects population size?
il63 [147K]
Well, depending on how long the migration is, many of the animals (mainly birds) could get sick and die, lowering the population. They could be shot by hunters, lowering the population. The children of the population could get left behind and lose their way, lowering the population. I'm not entirely sure how the population could grow other than them finding and staying with another group of their own kind. hope I was helpful! :)

How to solve these questions
malfutka [58]

Answer:

(i) An allele is a variant of a gene, can either be short or tall.

Dominant = the tall allele that "trumps" the short allele. if a dominant and recessive allele is present (heterozygous) then the dominant phenotype will be shown.

(ii) David's eyes are Brown

(iii) Sarah's eyes are blue

(iv) David - B, b

Sarah - b, b

(v) Possible genotypes include Bb and bb. These give the phenotypes of brown eyes or blue eyes.

(vi) The chance for blue eyes is 50% (or 1:1 ratio)

How does recombination contribute to offspring diversity?A. It modifies chromosomes to generate new alleles of genes that code f
omeli [17]

Answer: D. It yields chromosomes that contain both maternal and paternal DNA.

Explanation:

The recombination or crossing over is a genetic process. It takes place during the Prophase I of meiosis. The homologous pair align and held together by synapsis. This results in the mixture of genes combination formed from both parents that can be represented as a single chromosome.

If the recombination do not occur then each chromosome will be either 100% maternal or paternal. Thus recombination assures the recombinant chromosomes which consists of genetic material from both parents. Thus the genetic diversity of offspring increases.
