Which of the following species reproduces by internal fertilization?
a) cats
(b) Toads
(c) The fish
(d) alternative b and c
Answer:
(a) Los gatos
Explanation:
Only cats are capable of internal fertilization from the given choices above.
Internal fertilization is the fusion of gametes within an organism. This process occurs during sexual reproduction within the female.
- Toads and fishes exhibit external fertilization.
- External fertilization occurs where the male sperm externally fertilizes the eggs of the female.
- This usually takes place in a moist or wet place especially water bodies. The liquid medium will transport the sperm to the egg.
In cats, the female specie takes in reproductive cells from the male during coitus and it fertilizes the her eggs to produce a zygote.
The environment includes abiotic (nonliving) and biotic (living) factors. An ecosystem consists of all the biotic and abiotic factors in an area and their interactions
A large asteroid or comet impacted the earth.
In eukaryotic cells the DNA can be found in the nucleus mainly. so DNA replication takes place in the nucleus during the S phase of the cell cycle.
Also in eukaryotic cells there are mitochondria and chloroplasts (plants) and these have circular DNA and they also get replicated (according to their own mechanism).
Prokaryotic cells don't contain a nucleus. They do not contain DNA in the cytoplasm and thus the DNA replication will take place here.
I really hope this helps!
It’s the photic zone!!!! I learned this last year
