Answer:

C) production of sperm and eggs

Explanation:

Sperms and eggs are the male and female gametes respectively. Formation of sperms and egg cells require meiotic cell division. Meiosis in sperm mother cells and egg mother cells reduces the chromosome number of half in the sperms and eggs. Meiosis also adds new gene combinations in these gametes by the process of crossing over.  

Mitosis cannot reduce the chromosome number to half in the sperms and eggs. Absence of crossing over in mitosis leads to the formation of genetically identical progeny cells from mitosis.  

Hence, mitosis can not form sperms and egg cells.  If it does, the sperms and egg cells would not have genetic variations and there would be doubling of chromosome number with each round of sexual reproduction.

Why are fats and oils more efficient in storing energy than carbohydrates or proteins?
sdas [7]

One triglyceride molecule produces three fatty acid molecules with up to 16 or more carbon atoms each, so fat molecules provide more energy than carbohydrates and are an important source of energy for the human body.

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by attractive forces known as chemical bonds. Depending on the context, the term may or may not include ions that meet this criterion.

In quantum physics, organic chemistry, and biochemistry, the distinction between ions has been abolished and the molecule is often used when dealing with polyatomic ions.

The molecule can be homonuclear. H. is made up of atoms of chemical elements. Two atoms of an oxygen molecule. Or it can be heteronuclear, which is a compound made up of multiple elements.

The number of covalent bonds that an atom tends to form is equal to:
navik [9.2K]

Answer: C): the number of unpaired electrons.

Explanation: A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond formed by sharing equal number of electrons between two non-metal atoms so that both can attain the a stable octet or duplet structure of noble gases. The electrons shared by two non-metal atoms are the unpaired electrons. For example, in the formation of a chlorine molecule, a chlorine atom has seven valence electrons and electrons usually occur in pairs. Having seven valence electrons means that a chlorine atom has three pairs of electron and one unpaired electron in its outermost shell. The two chlorine atoms will combine together each donating its unpaired electron to be shared, thus leading the two atoms to attain stable octet structure of Argon.
