1)An autosomes is any of the numbered chromosomes, as it is opposed to sex chromosomes humans have 22 pairs of autosomes and has one pair of sex chromosomes that is X and Y chromosomes

2)The X and Y chromosomes are also known as sex chromosomes it determines the biological of the sex of an individual females inherit an X chromosome from the father for a XX genotype while the males inherit the Y chromosome from the father for a XY genotype

Note : mother's only can pass on X chromosome

3) During the DNA synthesis phase the cell replicates chromosomes during its mitosis phase the duplicated chromosomes are segregated (that sets apart from the rest of from everyone that gets divided is called segregated)and migrating to opposite of the cell .

4)*The first stage of the cell cycle is interphase

*The second stage of the cell cycle is division of the nucleus

*The third stage of the cell cycle is cytokinesis

Cytokinesis means th division of cytoplasm of a cell at the end of mitosis bringing about the seperation into the two daughter cells is called cytokinesis.

The relationship between the number of organisms in the food chain and the size of the individual organisms within each level of

ololo11 [35]

The relationship between the size of individual organisms and the number of organisms in a given trophic level is D) inversely proportional.
This is because a larger organism must consume more in order to sustain itself. Therefore, there can either be more organisms of smaller size or less organisms with larger size, because the energy entering a given trophic level is limited.
This is also the basis of formation of biomass pyramids, the total mass at higher trophic levels decreases.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

phenotype is a correct answer.

Explanation:

The observable traits expressed by an organism are described as its phenotype.

Phenotype is the physical appearance of an individual, which includes individual development, behavior, and appearance.

An individual phenotype is known by its genotype ( that is a genetic identity of an organism).

Thus phenotype is desecribed as the observable appearance of an organisum which include its structure, morphology, its physiological properties and behavior.

_____ phase is the period during the life of a cell between the end of mitosis and the synthesis of more genetic material.

laiz [17]

Ans: G1 phase Explanation: Preparation of a newborn division happens in three steps: G1 phase, G2 phase and S phase. In G1 phase, the cell grows physically larger, copies organelles, and makes the molecular building blocks it will need in later steps. mitosis is the process in which the nuclear DNA of the cell condenses into visible chromosomes and is pulled apart by the mitotic spindle, a specialized structure made out of microtubules.

For people over 50, alcohol may positively affect the cardiovascular system by

White raven [17]

Alcohol may positively affect the cardiovascular system of people over 50 years old by reducing the risk of clot formation.

Just like with the other body systems, excessive alcohol can have lethal effects on the cardiovascular system. Chronic alcohol use can upsurge the workload of the heart which can then lead to arrhythmia's or what is called an irregular heart beat, inflammation of the heart muscle or myocarditis, weakening of the heart muscle or cardiomyopathy, increased cholesterol, and even hypertension. Other problems are prominent with blood clotting and an increased workload of the heart that is linked to cirrhosis of the liver.
