Answer:

Well you have to tell the child that genetics is the study of how traits(characters) are passed on from parent to offspring. Such traits include height, weight, facial features etc.

Chromosomes are the cells that carry those traits in the body. Human beings usually have 46 chromosomes but during reproduction, the chromosomes are halved to give 23 which is in its haploid state so that each parent gives 23 chromosomes each to get 46 chromosomes which is the standard number of chromosomes for humans and animals.

Haploid means a single set of these chromosomes donated by the parent during reproduction while the 46 chromosomes which is achieved after reproduction is referred to as Diploid which means 2 set of the chromosomes from both parents.

What causes the doldrums to be calm winds?
arlik [135]

Earth revolves around the sun, keeping doldrums stationary causes the doldrums to be calm winds. Thus, the correct option is C.

<h3>Why are the doldrums so calm?</h3>

The Intertropical Convergence Zone, also known as the doldrums or calms by sailors due to its constant lack of wind, is the area where the northeast and southeast trade winds meet. It encircles the Earth near the thermal equator, however its exact location changes with the seasons.

The sunlight beams down directly on the area around the equator, the Doldrums are caused by solar radiation from the sun. Instead of blowing horizontally, this heating causes the air to warm and climb straight up. As a result, there is little or no wind for weeks at a time.

When individuals in a population are unevenly spaced throughout their habitat, their dispersion was most likely?
mylen [45]

When individuals in a population are unevenly spaced throughout their habitat, their dispersion was most likely random dispersion.

Habitat in simple terms is the place where an organisms lives. An organism carries out all its life activities in that area. These activities include eating, living, mating and reproduction. An organism's habitat must contain all the essential resources for it to survive efficiently.

Random dispersion is the type where the organisms are distributed randomly without any fixed pattern. These are a little rare to see in nature. The example of random dispersion is the dispersal of seeds from wind, they can spread in any direction.
