Answer:

a. epicanthic eye fold

Explanation:

This folded skin is found in the upper eyelid and it covers a portion of the inner part of the eye.

It is usually used as a medical identification of Down’s syndrome. However it is common with people of Asian decent.

Majority of women don’t like this phenotypic feature and usually perform plastic surgeries to straighten the folds

Answer:

This are our options to complete the question

-bottom-up and top-down hypotheses

-competitive exclusion

-keystone species

-resource partitioning

-character displacement

The CORRECT ANSWER IS resource partitioning.

Explanation:

Resource partitioning is the division of certain limited resources by species to eliminate competition in an ecological niche in order to allow easy coexisting with one another

The creeper searches for insects by hunting from the bottom of the tree trunk to the top, whereas the nuthatch searches from the top of the trunk down to eliminate competition and allow for peaceful coexisting between them

Most of the nucleated cells in a multicellular organism contain all of the genetic information for the organism. Which of the fo
vova2212 [387]

<u>Answer</u>: Sperm cell

<u>Explanation</u>:

Amongst all the 4 options given, only the Sperm cell is a gamete (sex cell) while all the three are somatic cells.

  • A <em>somatic</em> cell is the one which forms the body of an organism and contains all the genetic information.
  • A <em>gamete</em> is the one which is required for the purpose of fertilization. A gamete of male fuses with the gamete of female in a process called fertilization to form a zygote to give rise to a new individual.
  • A Sperm cell is basically a <em>male gamete.</em> It contains only half the amount of genetic information as the other half is contributed by the female gamete.
  • This difference in the amount of genetic information arises due to the type of cell division that occurs. The somatic cells undergo mitosis whereas a gamete requires meiosis to occur for its formation.
  • During mitosis there is a single round of cell division which divides the parent cell into two daughter cells each with the <em>complete genetic information</em>.
  • During meiosis the cell undergoes two rounds of cell division such that a total lf 4 cells are produced each <em>with half the amount of genetic material </em>as present in the parent cell.

Since, <em>sperm is a male gamete and is formed by meiosis it contains only half the genetic information as compared to the other cells.</em>
