Answer:

The zygote simply is the fertilized ovum or egg cell or female reproductive cell. It is the result of the process of fertilization of the fusion of the male reproductive cell (gamete) and the female reproductive cell ( gamete). In human, the zygote is the resulted cell of fertilization of the sperm and the ovum. It is diploid or 2N which means it contains two sets of chromosomes; one set from the male and the other from the female.

The gamete is the reproductive cell. There are two types of gametes; male gamete and female gamete. In human, the male gamete is called the sperm and the female gamete is called the ovum. The gamete is the last stage of the reproductive cells to be completely formed.

Fertilization is the fusion of the male gamete and the female gamete to form the zygote. Fertilization may be external as in fish or internal as in human.

What type of chromosomal abnormality can lead to multiple copies of a gene, some of which can incur mutations that can lead to t

koban [17]

A trisomy is a chromosomal condition characterized by an additional chromosome. A person with a trisomy has 47 chromosomes instead of 46.

Trisomy means the presence of an extra chromosome in some or all of the body's cells. This results in a total of three copies of that chromosome instead of the normal two copies. For example, Down syndrome (trisomy 21) is caused by having three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two copies.

This genetic condition is the result of a genetic mutation where your cells don't divide as they should. You can't prevent this abnormality from happening during cell division.

The U.S. government protects fish, a common resource, by selling fishing licenses and regulating fish lengths

Explanation:

When there is regulation about a particular goods, it reduces the rate the availability of such goods is abused, US government could actually protect fish through licensing and regulation of the type to be sold including there length which ensures the protection of the juvenile.

What if a mutation caused a change in the code so the message read GAG instead of GAC?  How would this affect the protein produc

Anarel [89]

Answer: There will be no effect on the protein produced

Explanation:

According to the genetic code, the triplet codon GAG code for the amino acid, glutamate, while GAC code for aspartate.

Since GAG and GAC code for amino acids with similar properties (aspartate and glutamate are both acidic amino acids due to the extra carboxyl group present in their side chain), the change in nucleotide is still similar to the original, so will result in a different amino acid sequence, but will not alter the function of the protein at all. Thus, this kind of mutation is called silent mutation.

How does a tree use Cellular Respiration to store carbon?

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

In-spiration Respiration in trees releases energy stored in carbon compounds through a controlled process. Aerobic respiration uses O2 to oxidize organic compounds into CO2 and H2O. Energy released is stored within living cells as ATP, ETM, and a proton bank which are easily used for cell work.
