Answer:
D. the 23rd pair of chromosomes
Explanation:
Humans have a total of 23 pairs of chromosomes. Out of a total of 23 pairs, 22 pairs are autosomes. Autosomes are the chromosomes that carry the genes for all the genetic traits but are not involved in the sex determination of the individuals.
The 23rd pair of chromosomes in humans is of sex chromosomes as these chromosomes carry the genes to regulate the gender of the individuals. A human female has two copies of the X chromosome as sex chromosomes while human males have one X and one Y chromosome as their sex chromosomes. The Y chromosome carries "SRY" gene that codes for testes determining factor and regulates the development of testes in the embryo.
The Moon is the natural satellite of Earth. Its revolution lasts 27.322 days, while its rotation around its axis lasts 27 days. From the Earth's perspective, the Moon seems to have different phases, where it appears as fully lighted, partially lighted, or totally dark. What the Moon appears to be from the Earth depends on how the Earth, Moon, and Sun are aligned in relation to each other. If the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, the Moon is full, with the reason being that the Sun is lighting up the side that is facing the Earth. If the Moon is between the Earth and Sun, then the Moon can not be seen, it is totally dark, and that is because the side that is facing the Earth is not lighted by the Sun at all. If the Moon is positioned sideways, not being in a straight line with the Earth and Sun, then it appears to be partially lighted, and that is the side that can be seen from Earth that is lighted by the Sun.
A benefit of using nuclear energy could be the abundance of uranium in nature. The human risk about mining that is the most important to consider are the health hazards that are associated with uranium mining.
Bacteria is important because this bacteria binds hydrogen molecules with the gaseous nitrogen to form ammonia in the soil. During assimilation, or when plants take up nitrates from the soil, bacteria aid in the process with the plants in making ammonia. Animal wastes is also a major place where bacteria thrives and produces ammonia. The process in which assimilation occurs in plants, and then bacteria converts the nitrates to ammonia is called ammonification. From the conversion of ammonia to nitrites, bacteria also aids in this process called nitrification. The nitrifying bacteria mostly present in soils, oxidize ammonia into nitrites, and from nitrites to nitrates.
Finally, the process of denitrification also has bacteria present to aid in converting nitrates back into a gaseous form of nitrogen in the atmosphere.
<em>The botulinum toxin, a poison produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum (C. botulinum), is common in soil and exists in untreated water. It can survive in these environments as a resistant spore. Foodborne botulism is caused by consuming foods containing the botulinum toxin.</em>
