Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Meerkat with 36 chromosome pairs

Explanation:

Genetic diversity in organisms takes place by the process recombination which takes place during cell division through meiosis.

The process of meiosis takes place during the gamete formation in organisms. During prophase I of meiosis, the exchange of DNA between sister chromatids takes place mediated by the formation of the synapse between chromosomes.

If the number of chromosomes in an organism will be high then there will be more probability of the genetic recombination process in those organisms.

So the organism with a high number of chromosome pairs can have the maximum chances of genetic recombination and genetic diversity. Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

If the bird population were to be wiped out due to disease, how would this affect the evolution of beetle coloration?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Birds are commonly known to eat beetles, and if the birds were wiped out, beetles wouldn't have the need to be the colors that they are. They wouldn't have a reason to hide from birds and could evolve to colors that aren't for camouflage or scaring away.

Which phrase best describes cellular respiration?

Mama L [17]

Cellular respiration is the process where energy from food is used by the cell.

Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.

The correct answer between all the choices given is the first choice or letter A. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Given the inefficiency of two of the pathways shown in figure 9-4, what advantage could there be to using these pathways to prod

Olin [163]

Answer:

Pathway A and B are anaerobic ways of extracting energy (ATP) from glucose. These pathways are advantageous when little or no oxygen present. The net energy in both pathways is 2ATP. Both pathywas take place in the cytosol of the cell and are categorized as fermentation.

Pathway C is aerobic in which oxygen is used to yield energy (ATP). This pathway is advantageous when energy needs are high because it produces 36 molecules of ATP. Therefore, net energy in this pathway is higher than the anaerobic pathways. This pathyway takes place within the mitochondria and is recognized as cellular respiration.

A schematic illustration can be seen in the image attached.

PS: Glycolysis is common to fermentation and aerobic respiration.
