Answer:
The Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau have formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate which began 50 million years ago and continues today. 225 million years ago (Ma) India was a large island situated off the Australian coast and separated from Asia by the Tethys Ocean.
Explanation:
Answer:
Unlike the queen bee, which has 32 chromosomes, drones have half the chromosomal charge (n= 16), so they are considered haploid.
Explanation:
The system of determination of the sex in the bees —like in other insects— is called haplodiploidy, and consists of which the females of the species possess complete charge of chromosomes, whereas the males only possess half. This is what happens with the queen bee with 32 chromosomes, while drones only have 16 chromosomes, so they are considered haploid.
Additionally, as a characteristic of haplodiploidy, males only proceed from female gametes, so they can only contribute gametes to produce females of the species.
The other options are not correct because:
- <em>Drones, with half of the chromosomal charge, </em><u><em>cannot be diploid</em></u><em>.
</em>
- <u><em>Monosomy and trisomy</em></u><em> are defects in the distribution of chromosomes during meiosis, which imply one chromosome less or one chromosome more in the normal chromosome charge respectively.</em>
Answer:
Following are the organelles present in the cell.
nucleus
mitochondria
ribosomes
lysosomes
endoplasmic reticulum
vacuole
Golgi bodies
Explanation:
Nucleus is the central part of the cell which control all activities in the cell. Mitochondria is also called power house of the cell which is responsible for the production of energy for the cell. Ribosomes and endoplasmic reticulum are responsible for the production of proteins. Lysosomes collects and removes the waste material from the cell. Vacuole store nutrients and food materials for the cell while golgi bodies modifies the protein.
