Answer:

The correct answer will be option-

1.  somatic cells- 56 chromosomes( 28 pairs)

2. metaphase I- 56 chromosomes( 28 pairs)

3. metaphase Il-  28 chromosomes (14 pairs)

4. gametes- 28 chromosomes (14 pairs)            

Explanation:

The cell divides its genetic material by one of the two ways of karyokinesis- mitosis and meiosis.

1. Mitosis produces two daughter cells which are genetically similar that is their ploidy level remains the same as that of the parent cell. Since the cell contains 56 chromosomes, It will produce two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes.

2. During metaphase I, the 56 chromosomes get aligned in the equatorial plate as no separation of chromosomes has begun. Thus, the cell maintains the same ploidy level during metaphase I.

3. During meiosis II the chromosomes which got separated during the anaphase I am passed on to the daughter cell ans thus their number remains the same that is 28 chromosomes during metaphase II.

4. Gametes are formed by the process of meiosis which reduces the ploidy level to half that is 56 chromosomes gets reduce to 28 chromosomes.

What type of glial cell acts locally to maintain normal electrolyte composition of the cerebrospinal fluid?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Astrocytes

Explanation:

Astrocytes are specialized glial cells found in the brain and spinal cord, they are responsible for maintaining the electrolytic composition of the cerebrospinal fluid, induce the formation of the blood-brain barrier and act as a support and guide for neurons during migration. They keep the ionic composition of the extracellular fluid of the central nervous system through the water channels, Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and K channels, located in the pedicle processes of the astrocytes in the perivascular space, these cells exchange K and water in said perivascular medium away from the neurons. Astrocytes selectively edematize during hypotonic stress, while neurons do not.
