Answer: Polyploidy

Explanation:

Polyploidy is defined as the phenomenon by which cells, tissues or organisms with three or more complete sets of chromosomes originate. Such cells, tissues or organisms are called polyploids.

If the genomes of a polyploid species come from the same ancestral species, it is said to be autopolyploid or autoploid. And if they come from two different ancestral species, it is said to be allopolyploid or alloploid. <u>Depending on the number of complete chromosome sets that the species has it is called triploid (3X), tetraploid (4X), pentaploid (5X), hexaploid (6X) and so on, where X is the monoploid number, and not to be confused with the haploid number. </u>

Redundant genetic elements of polyploid organisms can be transformed into single copies by sub-functionalization, neofunctionalization mechanisms or by the appearance of certain mutations.

<u>Two populations are sympatric when they exist in the same area and thus frequently encounter one another. </u>In general, different species cannot interbreed and produce healthy and fertile offspring due to barriers known as reproductive isolation mechanisms.  Polyploidy speciation is common in plants but rare in animals. So, animal species are much less tolerant of changes in ploidy. For example, human embryos that are triploid or tetraploid are not viable, cannot survive.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Australopithecus.

Explanation:

<em>Australopithecus</em> is an extinct genus of a large group of animals called primates. This genus is closely related to humans which may or may not be ancestors of <em>Homo sapiens</em>.

Australopithecus exhibits traits of both ape and human-like which is distinguished by the small size of the brain, smaller canine teeth but large molar and premolar teeth, broad dish-shaped face, sagittal crest, large molar teeth, flared zygomatic arches and sloping forehead.

Thus, option- Australopithecus is the correct answer.

How is a fish different from a jellyfish?
Korvikt [17]

Jellyfish are forever but fish ain't.

Plus, jellyfish have those tentacle like things attached to thier body and you might confuse em for octopus for that very reason..

but you should really evade confusing em as an octopus cuz octopus might take it as an insult and the next thing you know will be a Kraken taking your house down.. which is pretty tragic :'(
