Answer;

A. increase ; homozygous

Explanation;

-Nonrandom mating occurs when the probability that two individuals in a population will mate is not the same for all possible pairs of individuals. When the probability is the same, then individuals are just as likely to mate with distant relatives as with close relatives -- this is random mating.

-Nonrandom mating tends to increase the frequencies of homozygous genotypes. Nonrandom mating can take two forms namely; inbreeding and outbreeding.

-Inbreeding changes genotype frequencies, not allele frequencies: Homozygotes increase in frequency, heterozygotes decrease in frequency.

Pampas and Patagonia

The Pampas are prolific South American marshes that comprise more than 750,000 km2 and combine the Argentine territories of Buenos Aires, La Pampa, Santa Fe, Entre Ríos and Cordoba. The vast fields are a common region, suspended only by the low Ventana and Tandil hills, near Bahia Blanca and Tandil Argentina, with an elevation of 1,300 m (4,265 ft) and 500 m (1,640 ft), sequentially.

Patagonia is a sparsely populated area at the southerly end of South America, administered by Argentina and Chile. The district encompasses the southerly segment of the Andes hills and the sands, pampas, and meadows to the east. Patagonia is one of the rare areas with shores on three oceans, with the Pacific Ocean to the westward, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Southern Ocean to the South land.

frez [133]

Answer:

A sperm cell

Explanation:

A diploid cell has 46 chromosomes which is normally signified by somatic cells. Germ cells or gametes are haploid cells therefore they contain only 23 chromosomes. Male gamete contains 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome. That sex chromosome can be X or Y.

Female gamete does not have Y chromosome as a sex chromosome, it has only X chromosome as a sex chromosome. So Y chromosome in a human cell which have 22 autosomes determines that it is a male gametic cell or a sperm cell. Sperm cells that have a Y chromosome if fuses with female gamete produce male offspring(XY).  

So the correct answer is- a sperm cell.
