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.

Which of the following is NOT a requirement for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
aev [14]

Answer:

D. Small population size

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium requires the presence of a large randomly mating population. Small population size makes the population more likely to deviate from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium due to sampling error or chance events occurring during the genetic drift. Large population size ensures that the population maintains the constant allele frequencies over generations, that is the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

DNA and RNA are both organic molecules called
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are the organic materials present in all organisms in the form of DNA or RNA. These nucleic acids are formed by the combination of nitrogenous bases, sugar molecules and the phosphate groups that are linked by different bonds in a series of sequences. The DNA structure defines the basic genetic makeup of our body.

in a series of experiments Griffith infected mi've with oa nonvirulent r strain bacteria and highly virulent s strain bacteria.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

This demonstrate the transforming principle.

Explanation:

Griffith performed the experiment on the virulent bacteria and non- virulent bacteria. The non- virulent bacteria produce rough colonies and did  not cause pneumonia. The virulent bacteria produces smooth colonies that kill the mice and caused pneumonia.

When Griffith mixed the on virulent bacteria and heat killed virulent bacteria he found that the mice were killed. He concluded that there was transforming principle that turns the non- virulent bacteria into virulent bacteria from the heat killed bacteria. Something, has been transferred from the heat killed bacteria to the non- virulent bacteria. Later, he found that dead mice blood sample contained both the non-virulent rough bacteria strains and virulent smooth strains of bacteria.
