Answer:
Because the gametes implemented in fertilisation are haploid in nature, in the case of humans, mature gametes contain 23 chromosomes instead of 46 which will then combine with another parents' 23 chromosomes during fertilisation, i.e: 23 (dad) + 23 (mom) = 46 (zygote)
Explanation:
A regular somatic cell has 46 chromosomes, 2n, 2 alleles but the gametes have 23 chromomes, n, 1 allele. The usual significance of this is so that there is diversity in the offspring and the offspring can gain characteristics (bad or good) from both parents.
Answer:
Control group
Explanation:
In an experiment, the group which receives the treatment (in this case injection of actual drug) is known as experimental group because the experiment is being conducted on it. While on the other hand the group which do not receive the treatment is known as control group. The results obtained from the experimental group are compared with the control group to determine the effectiveness of the treatment.
Answer:
b. thrive during the summer, when sunlight increases
Explanation:
Phytoplankton production is highly associated with latitude and season. In polar regions, phytoplankton production is reduced to the summer (and eventually spring) season. In consequence, the zooplankton that eats phytoplankton only can survive during the spring and summer seasons. On the other hand, in tropical areas, there exists a nearly constant phytoplankton production all year round.
