Therefore, when the alleles of a particular gene are passed on to their descendants via gametes, a haploid sperm fertilizes a haploid egg producing a <u>diploid zygote</u>.

<h3>The process in which haploid gametes fuse to form diploid offspring:</h3>

A diploid cell produces haploid cells during meiosis, and two haploid cells (gametes) combine during fertilization to create a diploid zygote.

Meiosis is a type of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the number of chromosomes in gametes, which results in the production of gametes, such as sperm or egg cells. Meiosis comprises two rounds of division, producing four cells with only one copy of each chromosome as a final product (haploid). Additionally, each chromosome undergoes genetic material cross-pollination between the paternal and maternal copies before division, resulting in novel combinations of the genetic code on each chromosome.  The haploid cells created by meiosis between a man and a female will later unite during fertilization to create a cell with two copies of each chromosome once more, the zygote.

Answer

Cutting stems can stimulate hormones to start lateral leaf growth.

Some tropisms are controlled by hormones.

Cells grow faster in areas where auxin is concentrated.

Hormones help buds form and grow in the winter.

Explanation:

Auxins exert various effects including elongation growth. The basic effect of auxin involves  regulation of stem growth. This occurs by stimulation of cell growth in the direction of  elongation.Auxin inhibits the growth  of axillary buds.

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has four pairs of chromosomes, whereas the housefly Musca domestica has six pairs of chrom
Greeley [361]

Answer:

8

Explanation:

The fly has only 3 pairs of somatic chromosomes, that means that only can combine 3 chromosomes. To calculate the combinations the exponential 2n it is used. In this case is 2 to the third power that is equal = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

This fly also has a fourth pair, but this one is the sexual one, so the main function of this gene is to give the sex to the offspring.

Answer is D - lysosomes.

Peroxisomes are found in animal cells though the enzymes they contain perform redox rather than hydrolytic reactions.

The remaining options are found in plant cells but not animal cells.
