The Clean Water Act (CWA) establishes the basic structure for regulating discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States and regulating quality standards for surface waters. The basis of the CWA was enacted in 1948 and was called the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, but the Act was significantly reorganized and expanded in 1972. "Clean Water Act" became the Act's common name with amendments in 1972.

contrast the chromosome number in gametes and zygotes in sexual reproduction into your answer in the space provided
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Chromosome number in gametes- haploid (n)

Chromosome number in zygote- diploid (2n)

Explanation:

Sexually-reproducing organisms make use of gametes to reproduce. The gametes are produced via the process of meiosis, which is a cell division that results in daughter cells (gametes) that have their chromosomal number reduced by half. A diploid (2n) organism i.e. possess two set of chromosomes undergoes meiosis to produce haploid (n) gametes i.e. contains one set of chromosomes. The male parent produces haploid sperm while the female parent produces haploid egg.

During reproduction, these haploid gametes (sperm and egg) combine in a process called FERTILIZATION to produce a diploid ZYGOTE. The diploid zygote then divides and grows into the full organism. Hence, since a zygote is formed by the fusion of two haploid gametes (sperm and egg), it contains a diploid chromosome number i.e. sperm (n) + egg (n) = zygote (2n)

There are multiple adaptations in the digestive system that increase surface area, list three and where you will find these adap
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

1. Many vertebrates have teeth, and chewing (mastication) breaks up food into small particles, expanding its surface and mixes it with fluid secretions, which makes it possible to digest. Teeth are located in the mouth of animals, where the digestive process initiates.

2. The stomach, which resembles a bag-like shape, can either fold up when empty and expand like a balloon when it fills up with food. By doing this, the area of activity of the gastric juice is expanded, increasing the efficiency of the digestion. Food enters the stomach from the esophagus.

3. The villi and microvilli present in the epithelial wall of the small intestine, are fingerlike projections that greatly enhance the surface area of the small intestine. In humans, this surface area is 300 square meters and it is over this large surface that the products of digestion are absorbed.
