Reproductive haploids are also known as:

62% Answer Correctly

	ovum
	gametes
	diploids
	sperm

Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.

During continental drift, the drifting plates move across which of the following?

50% Answer Correctly

	fault lines
	sediment
	water
	liquid mantle

Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up of approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.

	cows
	fish
