Answer:

Human fertilization and development

Fertilization is the process in which haploid gametes fuse to form a diploid cell called a zygote. To ensure that each zygote has the correct number of chromosomes, only one sperm can fuse with one egg.

Stages of human development

Zygotic stage: The zygote is formed when the male gamete (sperm) and female gamete (egg) fuse.

Blastocyst stage: The single-celled zygote begins to divide into a solid ball of cells. Then, it becomes a hollow ball of cells called a blastocyst, attaching to the lining of the mother's uterus.

Embryonic stage: The major internal organs and external features begin to emerge, forming an embryo. In this stage, the heart, brain, and spinal cord become visible. Arms and legs start to develop.

Fetal stage: Once the formed features of the embryo begin to grow and develop, the organism is considered a fetus. Differentiation and specialization of structures happens during this time.

Differentiation and apoptosis

During development, the number of cells must increase through division so that body axes, tissues, organs, and structures must form. Individual cells become specialized in their structure and function through the process of cell differentiation.

Unnecessary cells also must be removed in order to help form important structures. This occurs is through the process of apoptosis. For example, human hands start out as a paddle-like block of tissue. Eventually, the block was “carved” into fingers by apoptosis of the cells in between the developing fingers.

Now that you have come up with an equation that describes the relationship between amounts of different nucleotide bases in DNA,
Elza [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- 21, 29, 29

Explanation:

In a DNA sequence, the nucleotide base pairs on one strand of DNA are  complementary to the base pair on other strand of DNA.

According to the Chargaff rule, Adenine binds Thymine and Cytosine binds Guanosine which shows that the amount of A will equal T and the amount of G will equal C.

Therefore, when the amount of C is 21%, then the amount of G will be 21%.

To find amount of AT= 100-GC

                              AT= 100-42

                                AT= 58%

So, AT/2= 29% each

Thus, A=T= 29%

          G=C=21%

What will happen to a population of predators if there is a sudden increased in food for the prey
Umnica [9.8K]
At first, the population of predators would spike and increase quickly, but then over time, gradually decrease.

(This is because at first there's more food, so the predators population increases. But overtime it begins to level out and the predators' population catches up with the prey, and in result, doesn't continue increasing.)

ASAP PLEASE At what stage do scientists ask questions and try to explain observations?
lesya692 [45]

The stage that scientists begin to ask questions and attempt to explain observations is A. forming hypotheses. This is because a hypothesis is basically a testable question about observations scientists make.
