Biology
1 answer:
Elodia [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It is called pen and it is located at the dorsal side

Explanation:

Squid belongs to the class Cephalopoda, subclass Coleoidea which is characterized by internal shell (unlike subclass Nautiloidea in which shell is located externally).

The shell of the squid (the pen) in very reduced and small, formed from chitin and located at the dorsal side. The pen provides attachment for muscles and it gives the squid stiffness.

Most likely, this internal shell evolved from the  external shell, because it is believed the ancestral of the organisms from the Coleoidea was probably nautiloid-like.

In terms of energy resources, how do wealthier, developed nations compare
Luden [163]

Answer:

D. People who live in wealthier countries tend to consume more energy per person.

Explanation:

People in wealthy countries have access to many technologies such as phones, televisions, and house appliances like coffee makers. All of these use energy. Wealthy people also tend to have larger houses that require more electricity to light and heat/cool. People in developing countries do not have access to these technologies or large houses that consume large amounts of energy. Additionally, people in poverty are unable to afford the levels of energy that wealthy citizens can. For these reasons, wealthier countries consume more energy per person.

What are the mechanisms by which aneuploidy and polyploidy are caused? What are the mechanisms by which aneuploidy and polyploid
sleet_krkn [62]

The correct answer is:

The principal cause of aneuploidy is chromosome nondisjunction during mitosis or meiosis. Polyploidy in nature can result either from the duplication of euploid chromosome sets from a single species or from the combining of chromosome sets from different species.  

Aneuploidy is a phenomenon when there is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell (an extra or missing chromosome). Usually it appears as a result of improper cell division (chromosomes don’t separate) and it can cause many genetic disorders.

Polyploidy refers to a state when there are more than two sets of chromosomes (one from mother one from father). Triploid (three sets of chromosomes) and tetraploid (four sets of chromosomes) chromosomes are examples of polyploidy. This phenomenon is most common in plants.

Nadya [2.5K]
The path of an egg cell: After the egg breaks through the ovarian wall, it travels into the fallopian tube which overlies each ovary. From there, it reaches the uterus or womb. If the egg is fertilized by a sperm cell, it is implanted in the endometrium.
