Answer:

"D" is the option that best answers the question

Explanation:

Nutrient-rich blood flows into the liver from the intestines through the hepatic portal vein.

Its primary function is to help with absorption to bring nutrient- and toxin-rich blood to the liver for processing.

Hello. An image is required to answer this question. The image is attached below:

Answer:

d) to help with absorption to bring nutrient- and toxin-rich blood to the liver for processing

Explanation:

The highlighted vessel in the figure below is called "hepatic portal vein" (it is highlighted by the blue color.

The main function of this vein is to supply blood rich in nutrients and oxygen (which left the heart) for the liver to perform its processing functions. About two thirds of the blood that reaches the liver comes from the functioning of the portal vein. The rest of the blood necessary for the liver to function is transferred through the hepatic artery.

The chromosomes of offspring are not identical to those of their parents or siblings because ______ is shuffled during meiosis.
tigry1 [53]

The chromosomes of offspring are not identical to those of their parents or siblings because <u>genetic information</u> is shuffled during meiosis.

Meiosis can be described as a cell division process by which gamete cells divide. The number of chromosomes is reduced to half in this cell division process.

During the process of meiosis, genetic information is shuffled between non-sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes. This shuffling process is referred to as crossing over. A new combination of alleles is formed due to the process of crossing over.

It is due to the process of crossing over that the organisms produced are not identical to each other or the parents. Genetic diversity is important in order for populations to survive which is possible through the process of meiosis.

Arrange the events in the life cycle of mosses in the flowchart below. Start the life cycle with the mature sporophyte stage in
labwork [276]

Answer:

Life cycle of a moss

Explanation:

LIFE CYCLE OF A MOSS FROM MATURED SPOROPHYTE STAGE

An embryo further develops into a pear-shaped  sporangium, which is the *sporophyte  stage of the plant*. The sporangium  contains spore sacs, each of which is the spore mother cell that undergoes meiotic division  to form four spores,The spores are released and germination

takes  place giving  rise to a protonema, which develops into a new gametophyte plant. The gametophyte  generation or haploid phase of the moss is from the production  of haploid spores after meiosis  to the period just before fusion of the haploid antherizoid or haploid ovum. The sporophyte generation or diploid  phase is from the diploid  mother cells just before meiosis.

Examples of moss plants include Funaria hygrometrica, Polytrichum commune, Barbuda Indica.
