Answer:

Answer is D.Produce non-identical genetically different gametes and reduction of chromosomes,creating a haploid gamete.

Explanation:

Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction.In humans diploid gamete-mother cells or germ line undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes.

The chromosomes pairs of each parent undergo crossing over during meiosis.so daughter cells i.e gametes have genetic variations.When gametes  fuse and form zygote ,its genetic make up is different from both parents.thus meiosis allows a species to bring variations in next generations.Benenficial variations help organisms to adapt to the changes in environment.

The two are potassium and rubidium. Why? Na is an alkali metal. As you go down the metals become more reactive. 
Calcium has 20 protons. Why? The atomic # is 20 (the one at the top).
It has 20 neutrons. Why? The atomic mass (the number on the bottom) is ~40, ignoring electron mass. 40- 20 protons = 20 neutrons. 
It has 20 electrons. 
Why? The # of protons and electrons is the same. Ions aren't on the periodic table.

What is responsible for the yellow-orange coloration of leaves in the fall?
mixer [17]

The correct answer is - C) carotenoids.

The majority of the trees from the mid-latitude forests tend to shade their leaves in the autumn. This process occurs because of the seasonal changes in the climate, where the trees tend to be almost not-active during the winter, so in order to preserve as much energy and nutrients as possible they get read off their leaves.

It is not a sudden process, but it takes some time, where the leaves from the initial green color start to change to yellowish, than towards orange, reddish, or brownish before they fall.

The reason why this coloration appears in the leaves when the tree starts to process of shading them off are carotenoids. The carotenoids found in the leaves, the lutein and the beta-caroten, thorugh the xantophills and the flavonoids give a yellowish color to the leaves, thus we get the beautiful autumn colors and landscapes.

What ability of individual stem cells is described by the term totipotent?
I am Lyosha [343]
Totipotent stem cells have the ability to develop into any kind of cell found in the human body.
When the sperm fertilizes the egg, creates the zygote which is the fist totipotent cell. After that, in the first cell divisions more totipotent cells are produced. Within several days, these totipotent cells produce even more totipotent cells and after four days the cells begin to specialize.
