Answer: A. plants
Explanation: plants begin the food chain because it is a producer, which doesn't eat other animals to get energy.
Answer:a) a sturdy-finned, shallow-water lobe-fin whose appendages had skeletal supports similar to those of terrestrial vertebrates.
Explanation:
An ancestor - An earlier type of a species at any distant time — a progenitor.
A tetrapod is any vertebrate with four limbs. It includes any vertebrate (such as birds or snakes) that have evolved from early tetrapods — especially all members of the superclass Tetrapoda.
The presence of bones that support the appendages in Lobe – fin fish were found to be similar to the categorical skeletal supports found in the limbs of sample tetrapods. The sub class crossopterygii includes the Lobe – fin fish, which is seen as one of the recent common ancestor of living tetrapod today.
In case of a Natural Disaster, taking the decision about who must receive the benefits of a donation is "a locus of authority".
<u>Option:</u> D
<u>Explanation:</u>
A locus of authority arises when questions are raised about who is accountable or under which jurisdiction anything falls. In the scenario of some health, law or environmental (natural disaster) emergency the central or state governments are responsible for releasing funds to rescue the region by providing basic needs like food, medical aids, etc.
This phase is very important for the head of nation because allocating fund is easy but in right hands is trick, so the authority to whom fund is handover for further processing via right channel and to targeted audience is uttermost priority, also in time.
<u>Answer</u>: Sperm cell
<u>Explanation</u>:
Amongst all the 4 options given, only the Sperm cell is a gamete (sex cell) while all the three are somatic cells.
- A <em>somatic</em> cell is the one which forms the body of an organism and contains all the genetic information.
- A <em>gamete</em> is the one which is required for the purpose of fertilization. A gamete of male fuses with the gamete of female in a process called fertilization to form a zygote to give rise to a new individual.
- A Sperm cell is basically a <em>male gamete.</em> It contains only half the amount of genetic information as the other half is contributed by the female gamete.
- This difference in the amount of genetic information arises due to the type of cell division that occurs. The somatic cells undergo mitosis whereas a gamete requires meiosis to occur for its formation.
- During mitosis there is a single round of cell division which divides the parent cell into two daughter cells each with the <em>complete genetic information</em>.
- During meiosis the cell undergoes two rounds of cell division such that a total lf 4 cells are produced each <em>with half the amount of genetic material </em>as present in the parent cell.
Since, <em>sperm is a male gamete and is formed by meiosis it contains only half the genetic information as compared to the other cells.</em>
