Answer:
A) an error in either egg or sperm meiotic anaphase
Explanation:
A condition in which human contain 45 chromosomes instead of 46 is called aneuploidy or abnormal chromosome number. The most common cause of aneuploidy happens during cell division when the chromosomes do not separate properly between the two cells.
A missing chromosome or an extra chromosome is a common cause of genetic disorders.
<span>Transpiration is the major way by which plants loose water (95%).
It occurs through the stomata. Water loss is essential for plants because it
releases the pressure, aids continuous intake of water by the plant, and allows
the water to move to other parts of the plant that need water. Water loss
through transpiration is regulated by Guard cells, which help prevent plants
from drying out by regulating the opening & closing of the stomata, thus
regulating the flow of the water vapor from the leaf tissue.</span>
Answer:
The earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (Fig. 7.14). Recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. It is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. Both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. The upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.
Each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. The term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. Most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the Pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. Other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the Great Rift lakes in eastern Africa and the rising of the Himalayan Mountain range. The motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

Collision: when two continental plates are shoved together
Subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (Fig. 7.15)
Spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (Fig. 7.15)
Transform faulting: when two plates slide past each othe
Explanation:
There are three domains, and six kingdoms.
