OPTION E: An examination of a mythological creature (no partners) Mermaids are imaginary organisms that combine the bodies of two very different critters. In reality, this would cause many biological difficulties: different digestive systems, two hearts, different circulatory systems, different modes of reproduction, different methods of excretion, gills a n d lungs, etc. You would need to solve the system duplication and incompatibility issues. You must provide d e t a il e d drawings of the creature in question and your proposed internal organ arrangement ± how did you make everything work correctly? (50 pts.) You must also provide a minimum five or more page d e t a il e d typewritten explanation of the biological difficulties encountered and s p e c ifi c a lly how you solved them, so that the creature would be able to function as myths tell us they do. (50 pts.) i have project on this please help me with ih who i start .

Food chains are typically quite short, with only 4-5 links. Which of the following explains why? Only one species of herbivore feeds on each producer species. Predator species are usually less diverse and less abundant than prey species. Most of the energy at each trophic level is lost rather than passing on to the next level. Extinction of species at one level causes extinctions at higher levels. 1 points

Meiosis is a process that can generate nearly infinite variation from a single source of genes, even before the additional diversity created by fertilization. There are two main processes that occur during meiosis to generate diversity. Describe each of these processes, referencing where in the meiotic cycle they occur and how they contribute to genetic diversity in the gametes. Format your answer into parts (i) and (ii) for the two processes.
