During fertilization, the encounter of gametes results in the fusion of their nuclei. The nucleus of the egg cell thus formed is therefore a mixture of the two nuclei.
So the parent will only give half of his chromosomes, so the child will have 50% of his chromosomes that resemble each of his parents.
Another factor that must be mentioned is the genetic recombination between the chromosomes that occurs during meiosis of the reproductive cells. Thus, this will give a heterogeneous chromosome resulting from recombination of the two chromosomes of each of its parents, and the child will have a unique combination chromosome but keeping the alleles of both parents.
Answer: Option D.
Thalamus.
Explanation:
It is thalamus because thalamus is a mass of grey matter structure in the brain that is located between the cerebral cortex and the midbrain which also have some nerves connected to them and it is responsible for sending motor and sensory signals to the cerebral cortex and also regulate conciousness and mental alertness.
It transmit information from the higher brain region to the medula and cerebellum.
Answer:
In water cycle, water evaporates from the sea and oceans in the form of water vapors due to the radiation of the sun. This evaporation in the ocean is the starting point of water cycle.
Explanation:
Water cycle is also called hydrological cycle. In this cycle , water evaporates from water bodies such as rivers, seas, ponds and oceans etc. Water is also evaporated from plant bodies in the process of both evaporation and transpiration. This water moves in the form of vapors and forms clouds. These clouds moves to the land and fall on the earth surface in the form of rainfall and snowfall. From there, this water moves to the oceans through lakes and rivers and repeat the cycle again.
Skeletal muscle just attach to the skeleton of the body by itself.
Answer: The correct answer is -
D) giraffes having increasingly longer necks over time.
Natural selection is an evolutionary mechanism that was proposed by Darwin.
According to this mechanism, organisms that are better capable of adapting to their changing environmental conditions, survive and increase their number through reproduction whereas other are eliminated from the population.
Example - Long neck of Giraffe, which is much elongated, lofty stature, that was beautifully adapted for browsing on the higher tree branches. This was an adaptation with slow and gradual change in the gene frequency as the lower vegetation was eaten by other animals. Due to this, giraffes had to search for other source (that was higher tree branches).
This is considered as a peculiar example of natural selection.
