Answer:

A. inheritance and reproduction

Explanation:

These two terms are interrelated as the act of one (reproduction) gives rise to the other (inheritance). The process whereby offsprings are produced using gametes (sexual reproduction) or without gametes (asexual reproduction) from a an organism called the parent is called REPRODUCTION. Reproduction is necessary to ensure the survival of a particular species.

During reproduction, the genetic material (DNA) in form of chromosomes of an organism is passed down from parents to offsprings in a process called INHERITANCE or HEREDITY. The information needed for certain processes like growth, reproduction, survival and others are contained in the genetic material, and are transferred from the parents to their progenies.

In sexual reproduction, this biological information encoded in the genetic material is passed on via gametes produced by each parent (male and female) during meiosis.

Answer:

Interphase: Lowest pic, left corner.

Cell appears to be in a normal state.

Metaphase: Left, above Interphase.

Chromosomes are beginning to align in the middle of the cell. Spindles form and begin to attach to their centromeres.

Anaphase: Lowest right pic.

The chromatids are pulled away from each other and brought to different sides of the cell.

Telophase: Above Anaphase.

The genetic material is now in its respective side of the cell, which now begins to split into 2. Nucleic membrane begins to form.

Cytokinesis: Above Metaphase.

The clevage furrow is forming and separating the cytoplasm and other organelles in the cells. When done, this will result in 2 identical cells (unless it's meiosis II).

Explain the benefit of an increase in capillary-action to a hockey player.
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

high muscle capillary density means a large muscle-to-blood exchange surface area, short oxygen diffusion distance, and high red blood cell mean transit time.Capillary action is important for moving water (and all of the things that are dissolved in it) around. It is defined as the movement of water within the spaces of a porous material due to the forces of adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension.

Paramecium live in freshwater environments like the Potomac River. Therefore, water is constantly moving into their cells. Param
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The correct answer is - osmosis.

Explanation:

Paramecium lives in freshwater like the Potomac River which is hypotonic to the cytosol of the paramecium. Paramecium uses contractile vacuoles to transport the water from the lower concentration (outside of the cell) to a high concentration of solvent to the inside of the cells.

This process of cell transport is carried out by osmosis as their cytoplasm contains a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell. This excess water is collected into vacuoles called contractile vacuole that swells and finally internalized the water to the outside of the cell.

Thus, the correct answer is - osmosis.
