Sexual Motivation

Sexual motivation refers to a person's overall desire for sexual activity. It is an unusual motivation. Generally, among lower animals, the term 'drive' is commonly referred to as sexual motivation. It means a certain internal force drags the animal to be involved in reproductive behavior. On the contrary, humans are not simply driven by any internal force; rather, the sexual motivation in humans is due to several factors such as biological (hormones, genes), environmental (familial upbringing, chemical exposure) and physiological factors (culture, desire) which further determine engagement in sexual activities.

A haploid zygote that forms in the ascocarp undergoes karyogamy, meiosiis, and mitosis to form eight ascospores. A dikaryotic ascus that forms in the ascocarp undergoes plasmogamy, meiosis, and mitosis to form eight ascospores.
How does a haplontic plant population maintain genetic diversity? Zygotes are produced by random fusion Gametes are created through meiosis Diploid spores undergo independent assortment during mitosis The zygote undergoes meiosis to generate a haploid sporophyte.
no need to explain just need to know if its a,b c, or d 1.) Alternation of generation refers to the alternation of diploid and haploid generation. What is the difference between the alternation of generation in moss and pine? a.) In moss, gametophyte is dominant; whereas, in pine, sporophyte is dominant. b.) In moss, sporophyte is dominant; whereas, in pine, gametophyte is dominant. c.) In moss, gametophyte is dependent on sporophyte; whereas, in pine, sporophyte is dependent on gametophyte. d.) In moss, meiosis occurs during gamete formation; whereas, in pine, it occurs in zygote formation. 2.) Meiosis involves two phases, meiosis I and meiosis II. This type of cell division occurs during the formation of both sperm and ovum.
