Answer:

Because men have Y-chromosomes.

Explanation:

In women, the final chromosome is XX, but in men, it is XY. Because this Y gene is different, genetic disorders are typically linked to this chromosome. A mutation in the X chromosome is equally prevalent in the population, meaning that the Y chromosome makes a male more likely to have a disease because they are more likely to have a genetic disorder, due to having both an X and Y chromosome.

Olegator [25]

Answer

Option C - Skeletal Muscles

Explanation

Antagonistic pairs are the muscles that are functionally opposite, if one produces flexion, then the other's primary action is an extension. Skeletal muscles work in pairs to move a bone so that the muscles can function properly. They contract the bone making nerves deliver a message to the brain. For example. Biceps and triceps. The lower arm is moved upwards when the biceps muscle contracts and the triceps muscle is relaxed and vice versa.

I need help!!<br><br> Describe how desertification has impacted the environment of this area.
iogann1982 [59]
Desertification is the process where fertile land becomes a desert.

Well one way desertification could impact an environment could be by a problem called OVERGRAZING.

Overgrazing happens when goats and cattle are kept in the same area for too long which results in then eating all the vegetation. If all vegetation is eaten, it is unlikely for it to grown back. Changes in political boundaries and companies buying land means that farmers rely on the water and land around them. This means farmers don't regularly move to new fertile areas.
