2n because when 2 gametes of n amount of DNA fertilise together they make an organism that is similar to its parents and have the total amount of DNA as 2n, just like parents.
The answer is fertilization.
Fertilization is the process in which two haploid gametes fuse to create one diploid cell. <span>In this process, male sperm fuses with female egg which creates a zygote. Since they are haploid (n), after fertilization, they will create the zygote which contains chromosomes from the sperm and chromosomes from the egg. The zygote, thus, has two sets of chromosomes, so it is diploid (2n).</span>
The correct answer is option (D) Lipid molecules are nonpolar because they repel water molecules, which are polar.
Lipids are organic compounds made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A glycerol is a organic molecule with three hydroxyl groups and a fatty acid consists of a long hydrocarbon chain attached to a carboxyl group.
Lipids are hydrophobic, nonpolar molecules with no charge on their ends. Waxes are long chain nonpolar lipids. The water repelling property of the waxes prevent the water sticking to it and appear as water beads on its surface. The hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail of the fatty acids are hydrophobic in nature making them repel water. The presence of wax on the surface of the plants and animals protects them from dehydration.
Thus, the nonpolar property of lipids make it insoluble in the polar solvents like water as there is no interaction or sharing of electrons between them.
