Answer:

The sperm of the father determines if a baby will be a boy or a girl. So, only half of his sperms will make a boy and half a girl. The sex of the baby will depend on which sperm gets to the egg first.

iragen [17]

The statements that correctly describe gestation are: the normal period of gestation is about 40 weeks; the stages of this process include: zygote, blastocyst, embryo, and fetus; and changes to the form of the embryo come from differentiation and growth.

The gestation period in humans lasts about 40 weeks and comprises different stages and processes from conception until birth. The main stages of this process include:

  • Zygote: Fertilized ovum.
  • Blastocyst: Cluster of cells that is the result of the zygote going through cell division.
  • Embryo: Unborn human that is still developing, usually before the 8th week of gestation.
  • Fetus: Unborn human in development after the 8th week of gestation.

Moreover, this process implies differentiation as cells specialize for specific functions, for example, muscle cells or nerve cells, and growth as the number of cells increases and therefore the embryo or fetus increases in size.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

The correct ecological sequence regarding this case, to answer your question: What is the correct sequence of ecological roles played by the bacterium in the situation decribed here, would be: 1. mutualism, 2. Parasitism and finally 3. Nutrient recycler.

Explanation:

Ecological balance comes when species interact, and help each other out, by carrying out tasks that the other species cannot perform. When this happens, both species benefit from the presence of the other, and thus are kept in balance. However, conditions may change that will affect this balance.

In this case, we have a bacteria and a plant that are ecologically balanced with each other: the plant provides nutrients to the bacteria, and the bacteria helps the plant by maintaining other microorganisms away. However, when the conditions of the plant change, giving the bacteria access to its insides, which are more nutrient-rich, than the outside, these bacteria do not waste time and infect the plant, until it kills, and then decomposes, the plant. Given the sequence, the first part is known as mutualism: to species sharing benefits. Parsitism, because the bacteria infected the plant and lived now off it, destroying it. And finally, nutrient recycler because the bacteria breaks down the plant, decomposes it, returning to the ecosystem nutrients that were inside the plant.

Mental processes such as thought, language, memory, and speech are processed in the ______ areas of the cerebral cortex.
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Frontal lobe

Explanation:

They areas of the cerebral cortex is divided into major four compartments.

  • The frontal lobe
  • The temporal lobe
  • The parietal lobe
  • The occipital lobe

The frontal lobe is situated at the anterior part of the brain whose main function is required in handling of mental processes such as thought, language, memory and speech. With the aid of the frontal lobe, we are able to think, communicate and process information.

The temporal lobe which is located beneath the frontal,parietal and occipital lobe helps to fine tune sounds and plays an integral role in hearing.

The parietal lobe is found at the back of the frontal lobe and also just above the temporal lobe helps to maintain body balance and trigger the body in cases of alertness.

The occipital lobe is located at the posterior region of the brain whose main function is reserved for visual perception.

The process by which a cell divides is called
PolarNik [594]

The best answer is C


The process by which a cell divides is called mitosis. It results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the original cell.

Multicellular organisms,  depend on mitosis for growth and repair. Organisms repair some of their tissues  using mitosis to regenerate new cells. Not all cells undergo mitosis at the same rate. In man, brain cells are much more difficult to regenerate than cheek cells which are constantly being replaced.
