A frog has a genetic mutation in its skin cells that causes part of its skin to turn orange. The frog will not pass this genetic

mutation onto its offspring because
parents do not contribute genetic material to their offspring.

skin cells do not contribute genetic material to sex cells.

mutated skin cells cannot divide and produce daughter skin cells.

the offspring will inherit skin cells from the other parent.

Answer : The correct answer is -

skin cells do not contribute genetic material to sex cells.

Sex cells are the haploid, reproductive cells (also known as gametes, such as sperms and egg) that are produced by parents through gametogenesis (oogenesis in female and spermatogenesis in male).

They are crucial for reproduction in sexually reproducing organisms (like humans) as they fuse together and form a diploid zygote (containing the genetic material of each parent) which develops into fetus.

On the other hand, skin cells are the somatic cells (that are diploid) and do not contribute in the reproductive cycle.

This means that their genetic material is not contributed to the sex cells.

Thus, the frog with genetic mutation in its skin cells will not pass it to the offspring.

I think it is A as well because skin cells do not contribute genetic material to sex cells.

The phrase "eating like a bird” is often used to express that someone only eats a small amount of food. Explain in detail why th
inn [45]

Answer:

The phrase "eating like a bird” is inaccurate because the eating habits of birds and the amount of food they consume are a function of their size, activity and metabolism, amount of food that would be insufficient for one person.

Explanation:

The phrase "eating like a bird" establishes a comparison between the feeding of a bird and that of a person, referring to the small amount of food that birds consume.

In fact, birds consume food according to the high energy demand of flying, its weight, size, activity and metabolism. A real comparison would establish that birds even eat more than people.

The feeding of each species is different, and the phrase is inaccurate because it only states that a person who eats little food (less than their requirements) is consuming what would really be enough for a bird.
