<u>C imprinting</u>

Attachment of newborn babies to mothers is a species typical behavior that has received a lot of attention. Newly hatched ducklings, which walk as soon as they hatch, follow their mother almost immediately. Similar attachment occur in many other species.

The process by which attachment develops is called imprinting. Baby ducklings follow the first large moving object they see after hatching, especially if it makes duck sounds. Normally this is the mother, but if ducklings hatch in an incubator, they will form an attachment to a person, a large, moving orange ball, or almost anything else that is the first large moving object they see.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

a. Independent Variable: throwing clothes (i.e., the bedroom)

b. Dependent Variable: how clean the floor is

c. Control Variable: throwing clothes into the air

Explanation:

The independent variable is a variable that isn't modified by the other variables measured in the experiment. Conversely, the dependent variable is the variable measured in the experiment which is 'dependent' on the independent variable. Finally, the control variable is a variable that is constant (i.e., unmodified) throughout the course of the experiment.

Why a single ovum is produced by oogenesis

Tasya [4]

Answer: The other ova become polar bodies.

Explanation: After meiosis I and II in oogenesis, there should be 4 eggs, but there aren't because the other eggs 3 eggs become these small cells called polar bodies that end up dying out through apoptosis. The reason why polar bodies are made is because they take out extra DNA that the single ovum is supposed to have.

So only 1 egg is made and the rest are polar bodies that get rid of extra DNA and then die by apoptosis.
