For fertilization to occur in humans, only one sperm is needed to weaken the barrier that surrounds the egg.

Biology
1 answer:
photoshop1234 [79]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Approximately 200 out of 200 million sperms ejaculated during intercourse reach the general vicinity of the egg.  They sperms must undergo capacitation during which dilute inhibitory factors fluids of the female reproductive tract weaken the membrane of the sperm head so that head of the sperm can be broken easily when it came in contact with the egg.

The first sperm to reach an egg isn’t the one to fertilize it because the egg is surrounded by a gelatinous membrane called the zona pellucida. Outside this layer, a layer of small granulosa cells also present.

Therefore, it requires numerous sperm to clear a path through these barriers before one of them can penetrate the egg and fertilize it.

Why can't prokaryotic species be defined as a group of similar organisms that could sexually reproduce together?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The prokaryote divides by asexual mode of reproduction.

Explanation:

The concept of species which defines a species as a group of individuals of a population which can interbred and produce a fertile progeny is applicable to the organism which can reproduce sexually.

Since the bacteria divide through asexual means and not through sexual ways therefore the concept of defining a species becomes complicated and does not apply.However the concept of species in prokaryotes is still a topic of research.  

Thus, the biological concept of species is not applicable to prokaryotes.

kifflom [539]

The answer choices to this question are:

<span>a.       </span>Learned helplessness.

<span>b.      </span>Stimulus discrimination. 

<span>c.       </span>Aversive conditioning. 

<span>d.      </span>Vicarious learning.

The best answer choice is:

<span>a. </span>Learned helplessness

<span>Explanation: Learned helplessness was studied by Seligman as a potential animal model of depression. Learned helplessness occurs when people or animals feel helpless to avoid negative situations. Martin Seligman first observed learned helplessness when he was doing experiments on dogs. He noticed that the dogs didn't try to escape the shocks if they had been conditioned to believe that they couldn't escape.</span>

What evidence suggests that vertebrates are more closely related to echinoderms than are any other invertebrate phyla?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Option C, shared DNA sequences

Explanation:

Complete question -

What evidence suggests that vertebrates are more closely related to echinoderms than are any other invertebrate phyla?  

- shared patterns of development

- shared morphology

- shared DNA sequences

Solution

Vertebrates have true backbone while invertebrates lack true backbone. Among the invertebrates, the echinoderm phylum is closely related to vertebrates as the echinoderm possesses notochord (similar to backbone) during their early stage development which disappears later.  

Through the genomic sequence studies it has been found that echinoderms are similar to vertebrates in many ways. Echinoderms have diverged from deuterostomes along with human and hence pose some genetic similarity  which can be devised through study of common DNA sequences

Hence, option C is correct
