Answer:

Because offspring with two parents will share half of each parent's DNA.

Explanation:

Sex cells contain half of the genetic information of an organism's regular cells. This is because a sexually-produced organism will be unique; it will share genetic information with both of its parents, rather than be identical to its bearer (like an asexual organism would be). When a sex cell meets another sex cell, their DNA will meet as well and change/adapt to suit the organism. If a sex cell had all the information needed to create an embyro, instead of half, which requires another cell's information to fill the DNA void.... well, it would just do it.

Answer:

c. Increased reabsorption of phosphate in the kidneys

d. Increased deposition of calcium into the bones.

Explanation:

Hyperphosphatemia is a condition that is expressed particularly in people with a kidney dysfunction. It comprises the kidneys, which do not excrete enough phosphate from the body as they reabsorbe it and thus leading to increased phosphate levels.

Also, phosphate binds calcium with high affinity, provoking acute hypocalcemia (decreased levels of calcium). In Hyperphosphatemia, calcium is being deposited mostly in the bone but also in the extraskeletal tissue.

All animals share several common characteristics. Which is a characteristic shared by all animals?
kirill [66]

Answer: multi-cellular bodies

Explanation: All animals are multi-cellular. This means that they are made up of many cells/cellular systems. Single-celled organisms, on the other hand, are not considered animals. Those would mostly be too tiny to see without the aid of a microscope tool. The other answer choices would not fit, because not all animals have bones (endoskeletons or exoskeletons). Also, only some animals are cold blooded, which is what the last answer choice has to do with.
