A shell is considered as biotic (living) because it is a hard, rigid covering of many animals such as snail, sepia, pila, turtles, sea urchins. A shell is protective outer layer of these soft bodied animals.

gladu [14]

Answer:

esta es una expresión de admiración ante la belleza de los mecanismos evolutivos

Explanation:

El concepto de evolución como mecanismos naturales que está actualmente en boga fue originalmente planteado por Charles Darwin en su celebre publicación "El origen de las especies" (1859). La teoría de la evolución de Darwin está basada en la idea que las especies cambian constantemente con el tiempo a través del proceso de selección natural. Este mecanismo es responsable de la inmensa biodiversidad biológica observada en la naturaleza, la cual incluye la evolución de las especies, poblaciones y organismos individuales. Desde una perspectiva biológica, es imposible no quedar fascinado ante la naturaleza y contemplación de los procesos evolutivos.

Explain how the random alignment of homologous chromosomes during metaphase I
borishaifa [10]

The randomness in the alignment of recombined chromosomes at the metaphase plate, coupled with the crossing over events between nonsister chromatids, are responsible for much of the genetic variation in the offspring. To clarify this further, remember that the homologous chromosomes of a sexually reproducing organism are originally inherited as two separate sets, one from each parent. Using humans as an example, one set of 23 chromosomes is present in the egg donated by the mother. The father provides the other set of 23 chromosomes in the sperm that fertilizes the egg. Every cell of the multicellular offspring has copies of the original two sets of homologous chromosomes. In prophase I of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes form the tetrads. In metaphase I, these pairs line up at the midway point between the two poles of the cell to form the metaphase plate. Because there is an equal chance that a microtubule fiber will encounter a maternally or paternally inherited chromosome, the arrangement of the tetrads at the metaphase plate is random. Thus, any maternally inherited chromosome may face either pole. Likewise, any paternally inherited chromosome may also face either pole. The orientation of each tetrad is independent of the orientation of the other 22 tetrads.

Answer:

<em>No, the rock will not move.</em>

Explanation:

As the scenario in the question is depicting, the force applied on the rock by two friends is equal but in the opposite direction. As a result, as the force is equal and working in opposite directions hence, the rock will not tend to move. If the force applied by one of the friends would be greater or lesser than the rock would have moved from its position depending on the force.
