Answer:

According to the hormone diagram of the menstrual cycle, the woman is not pregnant due to the behavior of progesterone and estrogens, whose levels do not increase, in addition to the absence of human chorionic gonadotropin.

Explanation:

The graph shows the behavior of hormones during a woman's menstrual cycle in the absence of pregnancy.

During a woman's normal cycle, estrogen, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) tend to increase prior to ovulation, reach their peak values at ovulation, and then decline, as shown in the graph. Progesterone, on the other hand, increases after ovulation and decreases if the woman does not become pregnant.

In the case of a pregnant woman:

Estrogens continue to increase after ovulation, produced by the ovaries and placenta.
Progesterone also increases its levels, as it is a hormone produced by the ovaries and placenta.
Hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) appears and increases during pregnancy, due to the secretory activity of the placenta.

The diagram represents the normal cycle of a woman who is not pregnant.

You would expect to find that as the generations pass, the offspring of the Bone-gnawers would have short, wide mouths and strong chewing muscles. The Non-gnawers would have longer, narrower mouths, and weaker chewing muscles. This is because the offspring would inherit the parent's traits, and this would lead to eventual less genetic diversity as the two groups of coyotes inbred more and more. (Sorry if I went further than needed, just trying to be thorough! I really hope that this helps!)

Explain what happens during the process of fertilization using the following terms: diploid, egg, haploid, sperm, and zygote

lisov135 [29]

Answer: During fertilization, an egg with haploid number of chromosomes unites with a sperm cell with a haploid number of chromosomes to form a zygote with a diploid number of chromosomes.

Explanation: Fertilization is a process in which a sperm cell from a male fuses with an egg from a woman to form a zygote. Sperm cells and eggs are diploid cells and they have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. During fertilization the haploid chromosomes from the sperm cells combine with the haploid chromosomes from egg to form a zygote with diploid chromosomes. Diploid cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Haploid cells are produced in meiosis while diploid cells are produced in mitosis.
