I believe it would be A. because that is the muscle that regulates the heart pumping. This would happen because the pacemaker is taking over and it now has no purpose.

Answer: Option A

Explanation: Pacemakers are artificial device used generates electrical signals in the heart. It is used when the heart is not able to contract and relax( pumping of blood) naturally. This is known as natural pacing of the heart.

This mechanism is controlled naturally by the sinoatrial node of the heart. When the muscles present in the heart relax and contract the pumping of blood takes place.

When this mechanism is not properly working, artificial devices called as pacemakers are used.

Union of haploid and diploid gamete results in a zygote that is
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Triploid

Explanation:

The process whereby gametes produced by different sexes of the same species of organism come together is called FERTILIZATION. A gamete is said to be HAPLOID (n) if it contains one set of chromosomes while it is DIPLOID (2n) if it contains two sets of chromosomes.

Hence, if an haploid (n) and diploid (2n) gamete unites, a zygote that is TRIPLOID (3n) emerges or forms. A triploid zygote will have three sets of chromosomes i.e. n + 2n = 3n.

1. Why is the quadrat method useful for estimating snall populations? Explain why the same method would not be useful for counti
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Quadrat method is used for estimating the number of individuals in an area. In this method, a large square area on the ground or water surface is marked, call it an enclave. The number of animals present in this enclave is counted. Then by assuming that the animals are less migratory and are uniformly distributed, their number for a large area is estimated by the use of unitary method of calculation. Example a 4 square feet area has 2 snails, then a 1000 square feet area will have (1000 x 2)/4, i.e, 500 snails in it. Fishes can be counted using this method only if they are confined in a small water body like a lake or a pond. Rivers are flowing so the fishes may move along its length which can give us an underestimate or an overestimate of their numbers. Sea has its depth and huge area, and fishes can be moving randomly in it. Hence this method will not work for river and sea fishes.

Hope this helps :D
