Chromosomes come in pairs (2n) in somatic cells or cells of the body. For instance, the number of chromosomes of a human being is 46 (23 pairs of chromosomes). In the event of sexual reproduction, gametes (sperm and egg cells) contain the same number of chromosomes as somatic cells then the union of the sperm and egg will produce twice that of normal (4n) chromosomes and will render reproduction inconsistent or even impossible. Therefore, a conclusion is made that in the cellular division of gametes, the chromosomes should be reduced in half in order to produce the same number of chromosomes for somatic cells generation by generation.

Which of the following is not true of lymphatic capillaries?
lidiya [134]

Answer: D: They are closed at one end

Explanation:

"Lymphatic Capillaries" are tiny, thin walled microvessels located in spaces between cells and their main function is to drain and process extracellular fluid.

They are larger than blood capillaries and have "closed ends". Their unique structure permits interstitial fluid to flow into them but not out. Thus their ends are closed unlike the loop structure of blood capillaries.
