<u>Answer</u>: Sperm cell
<u>Explanation</u>:
Amongst all the 4 options given, only the Sperm cell is a gamete (sex cell) while all the three are somatic cells.
- A <em>somatic</em> cell is the one which forms the body of an organism and contains all the genetic information.
- A <em>gamete</em> is the one which is required for the purpose of fertilization. A gamete of male fuses with the gamete of female in a process called fertilization to form a zygote to give rise to a new individual.
- A Sperm cell is basically a <em>male gamete.</em> It contains only half the amount of genetic information as the other half is contributed by the female gamete.
- This difference in the amount of genetic information arises due to the type of cell division that occurs. The somatic cells undergo mitosis whereas a gamete requires meiosis to occur for its formation.
- During mitosis there is a single round of cell division which divides the parent cell into two daughter cells each with the <em>complete genetic information</em>.
- During meiosis the cell undergoes two rounds of cell division such that a total lf 4 cells are produced each <em>with half the amount of genetic material </em>as present in the parent cell.
Since, <em>sperm is a male gamete and is formed by meiosis it contains only half the genetic information as compared to the other cells.</em>
When Charles Darwin considered wings of birds, apart from his famous proposal he also predicted that fossils will be found with structures that are intermediate between early and modern form.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
Charles Darwin was basically referring to transitional Fossil while considering Wings of bird. So what are transitional fossil? They are the fossil remains of both the ancestral group and the descendant group.
Since we don’t have enough record of the fossils, it is very difficult to know the accuracy of transitional fossil. However, we do have some record of fossils from which we can gather enough evidence of how the fossils where earlier and how it evolved over a period of time.
Answer:
potential energy, kinetic energy
Explanation:
potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position. kinetic energy is energy in motion. when the bow is being drawn back it has potential energy because of its position and that at any moment it can be converted into kinetic energy.
