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.

Why is milk used as a first-aid remedy for someone who has swallowed a heavy-metal poison?
klio [65]
Human trials have indicated an inverse relationship between blood lead level and calcium intake. While milk isn’t an antidote to let’s say, lead poisoning, the dietary calcium inhibits the lead absorption. This sort of poisoning is incredibly dangerous to the systems of the human body, and the ingredients within the milk help to defend against it. The purpose of the milk is to dilute the ingested poison.

Somatic cells of roundworms have four individual chromosomes per cell. How many chromosomes would you expect to find in an ovum
andrezito [222]

Answer:

2 chromosomes

Explanation:

The cell of an eukaryotic organism like roundworm contains the Nucleus, which harbors the genetic material embedded in the chromosome. The number of chromosomes of that organism is contained in each cell.

Somatic cells, also called body cells, are all other cells asides sperm and eggs, that form the tissues and organs of an organism. Somatic cells are usually diploid i.e two sets of chromosomes from each parent. In this question, the roundworm has 4 chromosomes in its somatic cell.

The reproductive cells or sex cells (sperm and eggs) of an organism always result from meiotic division of specialized cells.

Since meiosis is a kind of division that results in cells with their chromosome number reduced by half (haploid), it therefore means that the ovum and sperm cell will be expected to contain 2 chromosomes each.

This way, when fertilization occurs (sperm and egg fusion), the resulting zygote, which will eventually develop into an adult organism, will have 4 chromosomes.

you are a molecule of carbon. choose a starting point in the carbon cycle and describe the process you would go through to move
Assoli18 [71]
Answer:

1) start as a carbon molecule in the atmosphere
2) taken in by trees through photosynthesis
3) carbon is taken into decayed organism
4) then it is taken into dead organisms and waste products underground
5) millions of years later, it is stored in a fossil
6) fossil fuels used by factories then emit carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere (back to starting position

if you want the whole cycle then..
7) used again by a tree
8) released as organic carbon (some)
9) tree leaf is eaten by an animal, which then releases carbon either from respiration or when it dies
