2. Genotype.

3. Allele.

4. Meiosis.

7. Mitosis.

8. Homologous Chromosomes.

9. Crossing over.

10. Gremlins cells.

11. Zygote.

12. Somatic cells.

13. Independent assortment.

Explanation:

Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.

Heredity refers to the transfer of traits (specific characteristics) from the parent of a living organism to her offspring through sexual reproduction or asexual production. Some examples of hereditary traits are dimples, tongue rolling, baldness, handedness, freckles, curly hair, color blindness, height, etc.

The various terminologies used in the field of genetics includes;

1. Sex chromosomes: The chromosomes that determine your biological sex -X and Y.

2. Genotype: The set of alleles an organism inherits.

3. Allele: Versions of a gene that arise through mutation.

4. Meiosis: Cell divisions that occurs in sex cells.

5. Gametes: Egg and sperm cells.

6. Genome: The complete set of genes in an organism.

7. Mitosis: Cell division that occurs in all body cells.

8. Homologous Chromosomes: The matching chromosomes a person inherits from their mother and father.

9. Crossing over: A process that increases genetic diversity during meiosis.

10. Gremlins cells: Cells that divide to produce gametes.

11. Zygote: The cell formed when an egg and sperm meet

12. Somatic cells: Body cells (hair, skin, brain, bone, etc.)

13. Independent assortment: The random lining-up of homologous pairs at the cell's middle.

Using a food label, explain what each section will tell you and why that would be important to, say, a long-distance runner.

IRINA_888 [86]

Nutrition labels diagram1 - Start with the serving information at the top.

This will tell you the size of a single serving and the total number of servings per container (package).

2 - Next, check total calories per serving and container.

Pay attention to the calories per serving and how many calories you’re really consuming if you eat the whole package. If you double the servings you eat, you double the calories and nutrients.

The next section of information on a nutrition label is about the amounts of specific nutrients in the product.

3 - Limit certain nutrients.

Check key nutrients and understand what you’re looking for. Not all fats are bad , and total sugars can include both natural and added sugars. Limit the amounts of added sugars , saturated fat and sodium you eat, and avoid trans fat. When choosing among different brands or similar products, compare labels and choose foods with less of these nutrients when possible..

4 - Get enough of the beneficial nutrients.

Make sure you get enough of the nutrients your body needs, such as: calcium, choline, dietary fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, and vitamins A, C, D and E.*

5 - Understand % Daily Value.

The % Daily Value (DV) tells you the percentage of each nutrient in a single serving, in terms of the daily recommended amount. If you want to consume less of a nutrient (such as saturated fat or sodium), choose foods with a lower % DV (5 percent or less). If you want to consume more of a nutrient (such as fiber), choose foods with a higher % DV (20 percent or more).

Here are more tips for getting as much health information as possible from the Nutrition Facts label:

Remember that the information shown in the label is based on a diet of 2,000 calories a day. You may need less or more than 2,000 calories depending upon your age, gender, activity level, and whether you’re trying to lose, gain or maintain your weight.

When the Nutrition Facts label says a food contains “0 g” of trans fat, but includes “partially hydrogenated oil” in the ingredient list, it means the food contains some trans fat, but less than 0.5 grams per serving. So, if you eat more than one serving, you could end up eating too much trans fat.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the Nutrition Facts label seen on packaged foods and drinks. In 2016, the FDA released changes to the label to make it easier to see how many calories and added sugars are in a product and to make serving sizes more realistic. These changes are still being implemented throughout the food industry, so for now you may see the redesigned version shown here or the old original version.

Why are stem cells important for the development of a multicellular organism? What do they allow the organism to do?

klio [65]

Answer:

Stem cells are primal cells found in all multi-cellular organisms. They retain the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and can differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types.

Explanation:

In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, replenishing specialized cells.

Coal is formed when layers of plant matter accumulate at the bottom of a body of water and are protected from biodegradation and

nekit [7.7K]

The evolutionary significance is that coal does not change the properties of the plant from that time even though the plant might have evolved from that time. That's why you can study coal to find out how the type of plant was at that time period and how it has evolved until now.
