Answer: Haploid number

In normal humans, sex cells contain the diploid number of chromosomes

Explanation;

Human somatic cells or body cells are diploid such that they contain two sets of 23 chromosomes which gives a total of 23 chromosomes. Examples of somatic cells in the body that are diploid include, epithelial cells, somatic cells, liver cells, blood cells, nerve cells, etc.

However, mature sex cells are haploid, which means they have one set of 23 chromosomes which means they have 23 chromosomes. Sex cells are the results of meiosis type of cell division in which a diploid cell divides to form four daughter cells that are haploid.

Which of these is NOT a way, or a proposed way, to store nuclear fuel rods after they have been used in a nuclear reactor? A) pu

Ainat [17]

The answer is C.)sending them on the shuttle to be suspended in space. This is the answer because after the nuclear fuel rods come out of the reactor, they go into a deep pool to cool off. Then they are then stored in concrete and lead-lined casks for dry storage, until, ultimately, the US government builds a deep underground storage facility to house them permanently. They are never sent on the shuttle to be suspended in space. It would be too costly and too dangerous.

Potential Energy on the way up the rollercoaster

Nana76 [90]

Answer: Because The potential energy you build going up the hill can be released as kinetic energy — the energy of motion that takes you down the hill. Once you start cruising down that first hill, gravity takes over and all the built-up potential energy changes to kinetic energy. Gravity applies a constant downward force on the cars.Potential energy is the energy an object has as a result of its position. Potential energy is stored energy that has not yet been released. Gravitational potential energy is potential energy that results from an object's position in a gravitational field, and is equal to the object's weight multiplied by its height.

hope this helps have a nice day❤️
