Answer:

256

Explanation:

If there are 2 pairs of chromosomes Aa and Bb, there are 4 possibilities for independent assortment of gametes:

A w B, aith with b, A with b and a with B.

If there are 3 pairs of chromosomes Aa, Bb and Cc, there are 8 possibilities:

ABC, abc, ABc, Abc, aBC, aBc, abC, AbC

This corresponds to 2^n, where n= the number of chromosomes.

Therefore, with 8 chromosomes, the possibilities are 2^8 = 256

This is for each parent.

What is creative electrical energy is converted to mechanical energy
hammer [34]

<em>Energy transformation</em>, also known as <em>energy conversion</em>, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work (Ex: Moving a heavy object from one place to another) On top of that, being convertible, according to the law of conservation of energy, energy is transferable to a different location or object, but it CANNOT be created or destroyed.

When it comes to transforming electrical energy to mechanical energy, A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, while a motor does the opposite. A motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Both devices work because of electromagnetic induction, which is when a voltage is induced by a changing magnetic field.

P.S - After doing some searching, I have found something that should help you, if what I said is confusing or not helpful to you at all. This website has helped me on many occasions and is a very helpful and valuable tool.

On which side of a selectively permeable membrane does osmosis exert a pressure
bixtya [17]
It is the Hypertonic Side. Osmosis applies a weight known as osmotic weight on the hypertonic side of a specifically porous film. 
This implies osmotic weight should deliver a net development of water into a run of the mill cell that is encompassed by new water. On the off chance that that happens, the volume of a cell will increment until the point when the cell ends up plainly swollen. In the end, the cell may blast like an overinflated expand.
