<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The simple answer for that will be that they are not complex organisms. Earthworms are simple organism with the small body,

So as there body is not that big thus they don't need any specialized organ system for the process of respiration. Every organism has the complex systems according to fulfill their needs, and most certainly the skin is very convenient medium for the respiration by the diffusion process.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<h3>BLOOD CIRCULATORY SYSTEM:</h3>

They have a specialized system where it was needed, THE BLOOD CIRCULATION SYSTEM, There body is small but long and need blood to transfer the oxygen to each part of the body. There blood have the haemoglobin(it carries the oxygen), thus it is red just like us.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<h3>SKIN:</h3>

Skin as a respiratory medium, needs to be thin, wet and cover large surface area than volume. The Skin fulfills all these Prerequisites, thus it is a perfect organ for the respiration. Even our respiratory medium which is alveoli is wet, thin and cover REALLY large surface area more than our body. If the skin dries, there will be no diffusion and worm will die due to dessication.

Describe how amoebas obtain food?
monitta
Amoeba acquires it food by endocytosis, that is, a small region in the plasma membrane which ultimately forms a intra-cellular membrane-bound vescicle. It engulfs it food using its pseudopodia (temporary protrusion of the surface of the amoeboid cell used for feeding and movement) and forms a vacuole around it. When the food is already trapped inside, it releases a digestive enzyme to digest it. Intake of liquid particles is pinocytosis (cell drinking) while intake of solid particles is phagocytosis (cell eating).

The incidence of Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, increases with increasing maternal age. Which of the following errors
Naily [24]

Answer:. Nondisjunction during meiosis I in either the male and female gamete

The failure of   homologous chromosome to separate at mitosis,  or failure of sister chromatids  to separate at Anaphase of  meiosis I or ii is called  non-disjunction.

 In this  cell division anomaly the  unsegregated chromosomes  are  separated  into  cells as single chromosomes, therefore extra copies are  therefore inherited.This  result is one of the cell having an extra copies of  chromosomes than others( chromosomes 21.

If this extra  chromosome copies  is segregated into a sperm or egg, the resulting zygote cells will   have extra  copy as  chromosome 21, and hence Down syndrome.

→It is more common in Meiosis 1 than ii,because of longer duration of the first stage of division than meiosis ii,given rooms to errors.

→Most common in women(with age increase)  than men because of exchange of telomeres in   them,which  worsen with age. Their Meiotic mechanism  which   weaken with age, and  more prone to errors compare to men,
