Biomes are described in terms of abiotic factors like soil type and climate, and biotic factors factors like plant and animal life.
1. Latitude and the heat transported by winds are two factors that affect global climate.
2. Other factors, among them an areas proximity to an ocean or mountain range also influence climate.
Answer:
The potential risks associated with plant-based pharmaceuticals include: pollen transfer to related species, contamination of non-transgenic crops intended for the consumption by humans, allergic reactions to the drugs produced from the genetically engineered plant, and persistence of genetically engineered material to persist in the environment and accumulate in non-target organisms. Risk assessment of plant-made pharmaceuticals should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis because the plants used to produce proteins each have different risks associated with them.
During meiosis but not during mitosis, which of the following is true? __.
A haploid gametes are produced that are identical in their allelic composition
B the cytoplasm divides
C chromosomes line up in the center of the cell during metaphase
D genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased
E two identical daughter cells are produced
Answer:
D. genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased
Explanation:
Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. Meiosis occurs in germ cells, as a result; genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased. These cells (germ cells) are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.
In meiosis, the haploid gametes that are produced are not identical in their allelic composition.
In prophase 1, the chromosome pair up.
During metaphase, The chromosome pairs line up next to each other along the center (equator) of the cell.
Answer: 3. They were born of one fertilized ovum.
Explanation: A zygote is formed
when an egg is fertilized by a sperm. The zygote then undergoes a mitotic division into two and each half will further develop into a separate embryo. The two embryos formed will develop into identical twins.
B. chloroplast carrries out photo synthesis
