Answer to Question 1

The two sex chromosomes, which determine whether a person is male or female, are made up of an X chromosome donated by the mother through the ovum and either an X or a Y chromosome donated by the father's sperm. in normal development, if the male contributes an X chromosome, the child will be female (XX); if he contributes a Y chromosome, the child will be male (XY).

Answer to Question 2

Simpler organisms, such as amoebas, simply split in two, creating a pair genetically identical to the parent amoeba. More complex organisms, however, reproduce through sexual reproduction, in which two parents each donate a gamete, or germ cell, the two of which combine to create a new organism.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
