Zookeepers at the Chester Zoo in England reported that a Komodo dragon laid a clutch of eggs that hatched into healthy young. Th

Answer:

Genetic or DNA tests on the offspring.

Explanation:

The DNA test performed on the offspring, revealed that there was only genetic material from the mother. Then we are at the presence of asexual reproduction, which is extremely rare in such a complex organism. This form of reproduction is called parthenogenesis, where there is no fertilization by the male.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Drosophila like the mammals possess X and Y chromosomes but as in males in which the XX is female and XY is male, the sex In Drosophila is not determined by the presence of Y chromosomes as a male determining factor are present on the autosomes.

However, the Y chromosome is important for males as they are involved in the formation of the sperms therefore the presence of Y is important. In the given question if the allele is present ion the Y chromosome which can reduce the size therefore the allele is passed on to the males only ans no females.

Thus, true is the correct answer.

the fly is female (Bridges 1921, 1925). Thus, XO Drosophila are sterile males. In flies, the Y chromosome is not involved in determining sex. Rather, it contains genes active in forming sperm in adults.

What structure on the human body is comparable to the alula?
melomori [17]
The alula is a small structure that is found on birds. It is located at the joint between the hand wing and the arm wings of birds and it is the freely moving, first digit of a bird's wing. It is normally used by birds in slow flight. In humans, the structure that is comparable to the alula is the thumb.

bagirrra123 [75]

    I would choose to make sure the local people value the forest especially the kipunji monkeys. How I would do that is by convicing them that leaving the forest is more profitable than cutting it down for agriculture use by suggesting that tourists will pay to visit their land. Tourism would boost the economy and value of the land. The local people can make a big profit  and save their forest too.

An octopus reproduces only once in its life, but it may have more than 100,000 offspring, depending on the species. Certain spec
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) The success of a species depends on the number of offspring that survive long enough to reproduce.</em>

Explanation:

Some species of animals such as the octopus might give rise to many offspring, but these offspring might not survive due to different reasons. Only a few of them will be able to survive until the age where they can reproduce.

On the other hand, the survival rate of offspring which are formed in lesser numbers is more. These offspring are taken care of by their parents usually or are better adapted to live in the environment. Hence, their survival rate is more.

Neurons that carry impulses from the eyes to the spinal cord and brain are called 5. motor neurons carry impulses from the brain
earnstyle [38]
<span>4. The neurons that carry impulses from the eyes to the spinal cord and brain are called the Sensory neurons. Sensory neurons are nerve cells within the nervous system responsible for converting external stimuli from the organism's environment into internal electrical impulses.

 5. Motor neurons carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to and from the Muscles and glands. The motor neurons transmit impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal and smooth muscles, and therefore directly control all of our muscle movements. There are two types of motor neurons, those that travel from spinal cord to muscle (lower motor neurons) and those that travel between the brain and spinal cord (upper motor neurons)

6. The neuron's cell body has short, branched extensions called dendrites. Dendrites are tree-like extensions at the beginning of a neuron that help increase the surface are of the cell body. They receive information from other neurons and transmit electrical stimulation to the soma (cell body). They are also covered with synapses.

7. In most animals and of different neurons are clustered in bundles called nerves Axons and dendrites. Axon is the elongated fiber that extends from the cell body to the terminal endings and transmits the neural signal. The larger the diameter of the axon, the faster it transmit information. Most neurons have only one axon, they transmit impulses from the cell body and also may or may not have a myelin covering.

8. The insulating membrane that surrounds a single axon in some neurons is called the Myelin sheath. The myelin sheath is a protective covering that surrounds fibres called axons, the long thin projections that extend from the main body of anerve cell or neuron. It is composed of proteins and lipids. The main function is to protect and insulate these axons and enhance their transmission of electrical impulses.</span>
