6 0

Ans.

In humans, there are total of 46 chromosomes in each cell that show 23 pairs of chromosome. During reproduction, meiosis occurs in germ cells that leads to formation of daughter cells or gametes that contain half of the chromosomes as present in parent cells. Thus, each gamete (either male or female) contains 23 chromosome.

During fertilization, fusion of male gamete or sperm(with 23 chromosomes) and female gamete or ovum(with 23 chromosomes) to form zygote that develops into multi-cellular offspring with 46 chromosomes.

Thus, 'a child inherit 46 chromosomes from his or her parent (23 chromosomes from each parent).'

A piece of metal will feel colder than a piece of wood at the same temperature.why?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Even though they are the same temperature, the metal will feel colder than the wood because of the thermal conductivity of the metal, compared to the wood. Metal is a good conductor of heat, hence it sends away the heat. On the other hand, wood is a poor conductor of heat, hence releases the heat too slowly.

True or false natural clones only exist in the plant kingdom
Trava [24]
<span>This statement is false. Natural clones are also referred to as identical twins. We all know that identical twins occur in humans on a fairly regular basis, as well as in mammals. Identical twins happen when an egg that has been fertilized then splits which will create two or sometimes even more embryos that will go on to carry nearly identical DNA.</span>
