Answer:

C. Compaction

Explanation:

Chyme enters from the small intestine into the large intestine. In the large intestine, chyme becomes solid or semisolid as the water is absorbed from it. Absorption of excess water from chyme to convert it into the feces in the large intestine is called compaction. Feces consist of water, inorganic salts, unabsorbed digested materials, and indigestible parts of food.  During compaction, enough water is absorbed and this makes large intestine one of the important organs in maintaining the body’s water balance.

grigory [225]

Answer:

meiosis

Explanation:

Down syndrome is an abnormality that occurs on chromosomes 21, it occurs because chromosomes 21 cannot be separated in meiosis, the pair of chromosomes 21 do not separate and go together to one of the daughter cells. In this way, the oocyte or the resulting sperm will have 24 chromosomes instead of 23. When in conception that oocyte or sperm joins the germ cell of its partner that contributes the 23 chromosomes, the total sum of chromosomes that will have the first cell of the new conceived being will be 47.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

B) 1/2 X 1/2 = 1/4

Explanation:

It happens when both the parents are heterozygous for the trait. The cross related to this result is shown as under:

                          Father           Mother

                             Bb       x        Bb

                             /   \                 /   \

Gametes:           B      b            B      b

                          |        |              |       |

Probability:      1/2     1/2          1/2    1/2

The probability of formation of 'b' gamete from father is 1/2 because there are only two gametes 'B' and 'b' and out of these two one will be assorted as 'B' and another one as 'b' and from mother also the probability of formation of 'b' gamete is 1/2.

Now the assortment of gametes with each other is an independent event i.e. any gamete from father can fuse with any gamete of mother so the overall probability of formation of 'bb' genotype will be 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4.
