An organism inherits one chromosome of a homologous pair from the maternal parent and the other chromosome from the paternal parent. Although both chromosomes possess the same genes and loci, they may feature different alleles, or versions, of those genes. For example, a maternally inherited chromosome in a pea plant may contain an allele that codes for a green pod, while the allele for a yellow pod may be found at the same location on the paternally inherited homologous chromosome. The differences between alleles of a gene are determined by deviations in their DNA sequences.
A diploid organism possesses two copies of each type of chromosome, with the potential exception of the sex chromosomes, in each of its cells. Humans, for example, have a total of 46 chromosomes in their cells. Human females have two copies of the sex chromosome called the X chromosome, so they have 23 sets of homologous chromosomes. Human males, however, possess one X sex chromosome and one Y sex chromosome, so they have 22 sets of homologous chromosomes, plus two sex chromosomes that are not homologous.
The answer is A.Only prokaryotes can reproduce asexually
Answer:
The maxillary sinus, that is, the sinus located in the upper jaw, would be affected.
Explanation:
Sinusitis is a very traditional disease that is associated with headache, discomfort, and increased mucus making.
The causes can be viral or bacterial or even by some inhaled noxa, sinusitis of this type is bilateral, different from sinusitis of dental cause that are usually unilateral.
The paranasal sinuses are the sinuses that pneumatize the head, that is, they generate an internal air current in the bones to be able to heat and disinfect them from those noxas that are inhaled (that is why they are covered by a ciliated mucosa that drags the noxa to the outside and also its structure is pseostratified with mucous cells that secrete mucus enveloping the noxa).
Another function of the paranasal sinuses is to be able to alleviate the weight of the head, since the shell and the bones that remain in the head formation are very heavy, thus generating these cavities filled with air to alleviate the feeling of "heavy head" "When they become inflamed and filled with mucus, they are obliterated or with a reduced space, so the head feels heavier for some people.
The paranasal sinuses are the maxillary sinuses that are in the upper jaw, the sphenoid sinuses that are in the sphenoid, the ethmoid sinuses that are in the ethmoid and the frontal ones that are in the frontal bone that is vulgarly called as the forehead.
Grass because they get 100% of the energy from the sun
Answer:
Explanation:
Every living thing grows. It needs energy to grow. It gets energy through food. When it doesn't have enough energy, it won't grow as fast. When it does, it will grow normally. If it get's more than enough, it will grow faster. One exception is if that organism is a human, and is having a growth spurt.
