Answer is: C. A body cell has 46 chromosomes; a sex cell has 23.

Chromosome is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism.

Chromosomes in humans are divided into two types:

1) body chromosomes or autosomes.

2) sex chromosomes or allosomes.

When sex cells unite during fertilization, the haploid cells (23 chromosomes) become a diploid cell (46 chropmosomes).

Body cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes (22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes), giving a total of 46 per cell.

Identify the effect of increasing acidity on the solubility of the given compounds.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

All the given compounds are basic on acidifying their solubility increases.

Explanation:

$C a_{3}\left(P O_{4}\right)_{2}$ solubility will increase, since it is basic in nature, on acidifying solubility increases.
$F e S$ being basic on acidification, the solubility increases.
$M g C O_{3}$ is alkaline in nature, it gets neutralized and there is no increase in acidity.
$M g B r_{2}$ is a salt and it shows no effect on acidification.
$A g I$ is a salt but insoluble in water and shows no effect on acidification.
$M g(O H)_{2}$ is strongly basic in nature, on acidifying the solubility increases.
