False. The mountain zebra and the donkey do not belong to the same species.

<h3>What are species?</h3>

The species represent the lowest and narrowest taxonomic categories as far as the classification of living organisms is concerned.

A species represents a group of organisms whose mating will lead to the production of valid offspring.

Thus, no two different organisms can bear the same species name unless they can mate and produce fertile progenies.

What the mountain zebra and the donkey share is the genus name, not the species name. Different species of organisms can bear the same genus name as far as taxonomy is concerned.

How many different codons can code for the amino acid tryptophan (Trp)?
Minchanka [31]
The chart very nicely lays out the amino acid each codon corresponds to. You're looking for "trp" in the chart, which only appears once, beside the UGG codon. Therefore, only one codon codes for tryptophan.

If the integument of an angiosperm seed contains cells with 20 chromosomes, how many chromosomes would you expect to find in the
OleMash [197]

Answer:

30

Explanation:

The seed of an angiosperm is formed as a result of fertilization (fusion of sperm in pollens and the ova from ovary). According to the question, the cells of the seed which will grow into the plant contains 20 chromosomes. Seeds of angiosperms contain a tissue called ENDOSPERM that forms as a result of the unique DOUBLE FERTILIZATION in angiosperms. It occurs when one haploid sperm cell fuses with two haploid polar nuclei to form a triploid endospermic structure that serves as food for the growing embryo in the seed.

Now based on the above explanation, the diploid plant cell with 20 chromosomes will have 10 chromosomes (half as much) in its gametes as a result of meiosis. This 10 chromosomes in each gamete (sperm and ovum) fuses to form a diploid zygote with 20 chromosomes, while one haploid sperm cell (10 chromosomes) also fuses with two haploid polar nuclei (10 chromosomes each) to form a triploid endosperm with 30 chromosomes i.e. 10+10+10.
