Musculus is the latin word for muscle
D. Species with an odd number of chromosome sets (triploid and pentaploid) would be infertile.
E. Aneuploid individuals (monosomic and trisomic) would have reduced fertility.
Explanation - Chromosomes generally happens to occur in the set of two. Organism that have more than two sets of chromosome are called polyploids. Polyploids that have odd or uneven count of sets of chromosome are sterile or fully infertile.
Example - triploid (3n), pentaploid (5n) because their gametes and offsprings are aneuploid. Aneuploidy is addition of entire chromosome to the already existing normal set of chromosome. Aneuploids are unable to produce viable offspring because their fertility got decreased as the zygote formed after the fertilization itself is aneuploid.
<em>zygote</em> is the diploid cell that results from the fertilization between an egg and sperm
<em>sperm</em> is the male reproductive cell that is responsible for a baby to born
One example:
Energy moves through an ecosystem through different organisms. For example, plants can absorb energy from the sun. Animals, such as grasshoppers, can eat the plants and the energy goes to them. Progressing higher up the food chain, the energy continues to transfer through different animals - grasshoppers can be eaten by mice, mice by snakes, snakes by eagles, etc. etc.
