The diploid number for the specie is 14 chromosomes. Diploid means the paired chromosomes as opposed to haploid which is 7 chromosomes.
G2 or gap 2 phase of the interphase is where DNA synthesis occurs and where the chromosomes are replicated to generate sister chromatids.

The diploid chromosome numbers will be 14 for this species.

Further Explanation:

The chromosomes present in the nucleus of the cell represents the diploid chromosome number. It is written as 2n, where n is the chromosome number. For example, in humans 2n=46 and n=23.  

The process of cell division involves G1, S, G2, and M phase. The G1 phase is the phase between the mitosis and the replicative phase. It is the growth phase during which the cell synthesizes proteins and enzymes required for the S phase. Therefore, in this phase, the chromosome number and the DNA content remains intact.

In the S phase, the chromosomes undergo replication with each chromosome having two sister chromatids. During the S phase, the DNA content is doubled (4n) but the cell ploidy (2n) remains unaffected.

The S phase is followed by the G2 phase in which the cell synthesizes the protein machinery for the mitosis to take place. It is during mitosis when actual cell division takes place and the DNA content is divided equally among the two daughter cells with each cell containing 2n number of chromosomes.

Here, the G2 phase contains 14 chromosomes. The cells in the G2 phase has double DNA content due to the preceding S phase. In this case, every chromosome remains attached to its sister chromatids, therefore the ploidy remains the same but the DNA content increases.

Therefore, this species has diploid chromosome number as 14 and the DNA content has doubled to 28 sister chromatids in the G2 phase. These sister chromatids will be divided among two daughter cells equally by the end of mitosis.

What is an advantage of performing a series of dilutions vs. a simple dilution?
Marrrta [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

The series dilution method is the step wise dilution technique where the dilution factors remain constant in each step.  

The advantages of using the series of dilution method over simple dilution are stated below:

<em>a)        Aids in reduction of a dense culture of cells to a more usable concentration.</em>

<em>b)        In every step of dilution the specific amount of bacteria is removed. </em>

<em>c)        Helps in the estimation of concentration of an unknown sample.</em>

<em>This sums up the advantage of using the series dilution technique.</em>

This is the unequal distribution of ions across a cell membrane.
Nady [450]

Answer:

Concentration gradient

Explanation:

Concentration gradient of the ions across the membrane generates the membrane resting potential.

Concentration gradient means that there is unequal distribution of the ions on different sides of membrane. For example, the concentration of K ions is much higher within the cell then out of the cell. Opposite is with the Na ions. When ions move from the area of their higher concentration to the are with the lower concentration, we say they move down the gradient or diffuse (no energy required). On the other hand, movement of ions against their gradient means that this process requires energy and involves protein pumps.
