Answer:

Although more offsprings are produced by the process of external fertilization but the process of internal fertilization is more efficient as compared to external fertilization. This is because, in external fertilization, it is more difficult for the sperm to find the egg and fertilize it. Even after fertilization, it might be that the zygote gets eaten up by a predator. There are none such risks in internal fertilization. The zygote is protected during the internal fertilization which makes this process more efficient.

In pan mixia, in the absence of migration, mutation, and selection the frequencies are A) Constant in genotype and phenotype B)

muminat

Answer: option A - Constant in genotype and phenotype

Explanation:

Pan mixia is a situation in which an individual is just as likely to mate with another randomly chosen individual as any other in the population

In a situation as described in the question, sexual reproduction is limited to organisms of the same habitat, thus the genetic variation is reduced to the BAREST MINIMUM.

This results in Constancy in genotype and phenotype

In the female, the development of the "egg" halts during TWO stages, _________ and __________

earnstyle [38]

Answer: The blanks can be correctly filled up with prophase I and metaphase II.

Explanation:

In females, finite number of oocytes are present since birth. The process of oogenesis initiate in embryonic stage only. However, oogonia divide and mature to form primary oocytes. These primary oocytes start meiotic division but arrest in prophase I stage before birth.

After a girl attains puberty, one primary oocyte resumes its division each month during a menstrual cycle. The primary oocyte divides to form secondary oocyte and polar body.

Polar bodies degenerate after completing meiosis II. However, secondary oocyte halts its division again at metaphase II until fertilization takes place. Once fertilization takes place it completes its meiosis II and results into mature ovum and polar body.
