Answer:
I'm presuming you mean the three different subcatagories or taxa as there around 25/26 mammalian orders. The three taxa are - Prototheria or Monotreme = Mammals that lay eggs Metatheria Marsupial = Mammals with external development pouches.
Explanation:
Answer:
This is true.
Explanation:
More commonly, an X chromosome will die and get replaced by a Y chromosome (all humans start off as females). When this occurs, the substitute Y chromosome causes changes in the zygote to occur; they begin developing male genitalia (i.e. penises, testicles, prostates, etc.).

Recombination is the method by which organisms can randomly assort their genotypes amongst each other to create offspring with a different haplotype than either of its parents. This can be done by either copying sequences from one homologous chromosome to another (no physical exchange) or crossing over (physical exchange.
Crossing over is a mechanism in eukaryotes by which recombination can occur, in which the two homologous chromosomes contributed by both parents literally cross over and break at certain points to exchange certain sections of the chromosomes amongst each together.
Self fertilizing organisms typically do not produce offspring that are genetically identical. However, this has an inbreeding effect on its offspring, since it is recombining from the same genotype and so has a higher chance of producing homozygous offspring. This is very detrimental for mammals and some eukaryotes, but in some other organisms such as bacteria, homozygosity is typically not an issue.
