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 table shows the distance between the moon and
Lunna [17]

January 10. 360,048.

Explanation:

The Earth and the Moon are two space bodies that have each other as the closest to one another. Both of them have their own gravitational pull, with the one of the Earth being much greater, while the one of the Moon being weaker than it is expected for a body of its size. Nevertheless they influence each other with the gravitational pull, which is most noticeable on Earth.

The gravitational pull between these two space bodies is the greatest when they are the closest to each other, while it is the smallest when they are the furthest from each other. On January 10 the distance between Earth and the Moon is the smallest and it is 360,048 km, so the gravitational pull is the greatest on this date. On December 19 the distance between Earth and the Moon is the greatest and it is 406,276 km, so the gravitational pull is the smallest.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "photorespiration".

Explanation:

Photorespiration is a process in plants, where molecular oxygen is taken in a light-dependent  manner. Photorespiration is often considered a wasteful pathway because it competes with the Calvin cycle, which is much more efficient. In C3 plants the conservation of water promotes photorespiration. This occurs when the C3 plants close its stomata because the environment its too hot, or the carbon dioxide concentration drops to about 50 ppm.
