If producers were removed from an ecosystem, it would fall apart. Producers are the organisms at the bottom of the food chain, which produce glucose and nutrients for consumers. If producers were removed from an ecosystem, the consumers would have no nutrients and die, causing their predators to die, and so on.
A gamete would correctly be called a SEX CELL.
The cells from the male and female parents which combine to form zygote are called gametes. The male gamete is called sperm while the female gamete is called egg. Both sex cells combine together during fertilization to form the zygote.
Answer:
C, there is genetic variation within the population
Explanation:
I do not think the industrial and agricultural revolutions could have occurred without the environmental costs. The industrial revolution in the 18th century occurred at a time in history when people where not aware of the consequences of their actions or the consequences of the widespread use of fossil fuels. Even if they were aware the technology would not have been present to harness power from natural renewable sources of energy.
Both men and women have sex chromosomes. Men usually have one X and one Y chromosome, while women have two X's.
When an egg or sperm is made, it only gets one of the sex chromosomes from the parent. This means that women can only make eggs with an X chromosome. But men can make either X or Y sperm.
During fertilization, the sperm cells race toward the mother-to-be's egg cell. If a sperm with a Y beats all others, then the fetus will be XY. The pregnancy will result in a boy.
However, if a sperm with an X wins the race to the egg, then the fetus will be XX. The parents will have a baby girl.
Nearly everyone's chances are around 50% for having a boy and 50% for having a girl. And yet, we all know families that are all boys or all girls.
