Loess is a geologically material which is usually yellowish or brown in color and consisting of tiny mineral particles brought by wind to the places where they now lie. It is a sedimentary deposit of mineral particles which are finer than sand but coarser than dust or clay, deposited by the wind. Loess is a type of silt which forms fertile topsoil in some parts of the world. The soil has few clay particles to hold it together. It is composed mainly of quartz crystals which slide easily against each other, and is therefore very subject to erosion.
Answer:
47 chromosomes
Explanation:
Meiosis is a kind of division that reduces the chromosome number of the daughter cells by half i.e. 2n - n. It occurs only in reproductive cells to produce sex cells or gametes. In humans, meiosis occurs to produce gametes (egg and sperm) that have 23 haploid chromosomes.
N.B: Somatic human cells have 46 chromosomes
According to this question, a meiotic error occurred during gamete formation, resulting in an egg that has 24 chromosomes. If that egg is fertilized by a normal sperm i.e. sperm with 23 chromosomes. A zygote that posseses (23 + 24) = 47 chromosomes will be produced.
