Answer: a. Genetic recombination (crossing over)
b. Can also be explained in terms of crossing over
c. Non disjunction of homologous chromosomes in meiosis 1
Explanation:
The process that allows for the transfer of both the paternal and maternal materials to is the crossing over process that takes at meiosis 1 changing them to secondary spermatocytes. While they are still primary spermatocytes, they are still diploid cells having both the maternal and paternal chromosomes. But since the spermatozoon is an haploid cell, it is able to retail some of both parents chromosome by the crossing over event which takes place between homologous paternal and maternal chromosomes allowing them to exchange materials. Thus the chromosomal contents of the primary spermatocyte differs from that of the spermatozoon.
C. This can occur as a result of the one of the homologous chromosome pair refusing to separate at meiosis 1 with one gamete containing 4 chromosomes/8 sister chromatids and the second having 2 chromosomes/4 sister chromatids.
Answer:
b. Two species that use a limited resource in the same way cannot coexist indefinitely
Explanation:
The competitive exclusion principle establishes that two or more species that share the same niche requirements, in the same habitat, and are in biological competition for the same resources, won´t be able to coexist indefinitely in the same space if the other ecological factors are constant. This is because species with identical niches have the same necessities, which means that they will compete for the same resources. If these species have the same requirements, they can not coexist. When the superior competitor occupies the inferior competitor´s fundamental niche, the first species has advantages over the second species and <em>monopolizes all the resources</em>. From that moment, the inferior species is displaced and must adapt to use other resources changing its behavior, or must migrate to another area where it can get access to its needs or get extinct.
When <em>two competing species coexist</em>, this is because of niche partitioning or niche differentiation. One of the species uses a <em>different resource, occupies another area, or uses the resources at different times during the day</em>. If there is not any differentiation between them, the dominant species displaces the weak species.
Niche specialization might produce genotypic separation. Subpopulations of a species diverge into new species.
So, <em>competitive exclusion refers to the exclusion of the inferior competitor by the superior competitor when there is not habitat differentiation, and both species can not share the same niche. </em>
Answer:
The testes are male reproductive glands that produce sperm and release hormone testosterone. Testosterone is the hormone responsible for development of secondary sexual characteristics. It is responsible for the growth of chest hair, deepening of the voice and muscle growth.
Answer;
ATP and NADPH are the products of light-dependent reactions.
These products (ATP and NADPH) are used in the light-independent reactions to make sugar.
Explanation;
-Photosynthesis can be divided into two parts: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions.
-The two products of the light-dependent reactions of photosystem are ATP and NADPH. The movement of high energy electrons releases the free energy that is needed to produce these molecules. The ATP and NADPH are used in the light-independent reactions to make sugar.
-Light-independent reactions uses products of the light-dependent reactions (ATP and NADPH) and various enzymes. Therefore, the light-independent reaction cannot happen without the light-dependent reaction.
