Answer the following question given this paragraph: Unlike males, females are not influenced by the male sex hormone testosterone during embryonic development. This is because they lack a Y chromosome. As a result, females do not develop male reproductive organs. By the third month of fetal development, most of the internal female organs have formed. Immature eggs also form in the ovary before birth. Whereas a mature male produces sperm throughout his life, a female produces all the eggs she will ever make before birth. Q: Females are not influenced by the male sex hormone testosterone during embryonic development because they lack what? Choices: - x chromosome - m chromosome - z chromosome - y chromosome A:
(A).
y chromosome

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: In many species, including humans, circadian rhythms are controlled by a tiny structure called the biological clock . This structure is located in a gland at the base of the brain. The biological clock sends signals to the body. The signals cause regular changes in behavior and body processes. The amount of light entering the eyes helps control the biological clock. The clock causes changes that repeat every 24 hours. Q: The amount of what entering the eyes helps control the biological clock? Choices: - air - energy - heat - light A:
Answer:
light
