Using the illustration above, why are the chromosomes in two of the sex cells different from the chromosomes in the parent cell?

Biology

Answer: A  the chromosomes from another parent cell were introduced

Explanation: A child is created when the male sex cell joins the female cell. If the male and female sex cells had the standard number of chromosomes, as is found in body cells then the zygote (baby) would have double that number of chromosomes. The number of chromosomes would keep doubling every generation. To avoid this doubling the parent's body cells split by miosis which halves the number of chromosomes and so when the sex cells join the total number of chromosomes is the same as that found in the parent's body cells.

The process of elimination of nitrogenous waste from the body
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Excretion

Explanation:

The excretory system removes cellular wastes and helps maintain the salt-water balance in an organism. When cells break down proteins, they produce nitrogenous wastes, like urea. The excretory system serves to remove these nitrogenous waste products, as well as excess salts and water, from the body.

What percent of iodine has decayed if 5 half lives have passed?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Hello!

A half-life is the amount of time it takes half of an element to decay. For example, after one of carbon's half-life, half of carbon would've decayed.

Now, we can calculate how much has decayed if 5 half lives have passed.

1 -> 50% (1) -> 25% (2) -> 12.5% (3) -> 6.25% (4) -> 3.125% (5)

Therefore, there would be 3.125% left of iodine. However, your question is asking what percent has decayed. Therefore, subtract 3.125 from 100% to get your final answer.

100 - 3.125 = 96.875

Therefore, your final answer is 96.875% of iodine has decayed if 5 half lives have passed.

Hope this helps!
