In animals and plants, there are two pairs of chromosomes - one set from a male and the other set from a female. But occasionally, the original fertilized cell doesn't quite divide correctly and more than two sets arises. The fertilized cell continues to divide with the result that all the cells have the extra set of chromosomes. This happens much oftener in plants and the plant will be sterile and can't form seeds.
Answer:
Common examples of physical contaminants include hair, bandages, fingernails, jewelry, broken glass, metal, paint flakes, bone, the body parts of pests, or pest droppings.
Explanation:
Sedimentary rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organisms. They form from deposits that accumulate on the Earth's surface.
5 chromosomes. Meiosis results in 4 haploid cells, meaning they have "n" pairs of chromosomes. The diploid cell that the 10 chromosomes originated in has "2n" pairs. This leaves us with a simple equation to solve the problem, 2n=10, so n must equal 5 chromosomes.
