Each gamete has half the number of chromosomes of the somatic cell. Hence, cats' gametes will have <u>19 chromosomes.</u> Option C.

<h3>What are the type of cells in the organism?</h3>

The types of cells in the organism are somatic and germ cells.

Both the somatic and germ cells go through mitosis producing two daughter cells with the<u> same </u><u>genetic dotation</u>.

Somatic cells are any cell in the body except sperm and egg cells. They are diploid, meaning they contain two chromosome sets, each one inherited from each parent.

Germ cells are diploid reproductive cells. They suffer mitosis to form more sexual cells, and a few suffer meiosis to produce haploid gametes. Each germ cell produces 4 haploid gametes.

Each gamete has half the number of chromosomes of the somatic cell. Hence, cats' gametes will have <u>19 chromosomes.</u> Option C.

In what ways do prevailing winds affect precipitation in a region
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Prevailing winds influence the precipitation by regulating amount of water vapor in air, direction of wind movement and by making cold and hot air masses to move.

Explanation:

Winds make both hot and cold air masses to move. The hot air rises up with wind and cold air rushes to take its place. The hot air coming from water bodies towards the land carry ample of water vapor and causes precipitation in the region. On the other hand, the air coming from land masses does not have enough water vapor to cause any rains in the region.
