39
Reproductive cells are haploid (have 1/2 the chromosomes), whereas somatic/body cells are diploid (have the full set of chromosomes)
This makes sense if you think about it. Using the example from the question, every dog has 78 chromosomes. This includes two of each (there are two chromosome 1's, two chromosome 2's, etc. This is visible in the karyotype attached). One set of these chromosomes were inherited from the mother, and one set from the father. Each parent contributed 39 chromosomes (one chromosome 1, one chromosome 2, etc.). If the dog in the question were to have 78 chromosomes in its sperm cells, it would contribute two sets to its offspring. When combined with the chromosomes in the egg cell, the offspring would end up with extra chromosomes. Therefore, both the sperm and the egg cells will have 39 chromosomes, one of each. When combined, they will produce offspring with 78 chromosomes, the proper number.
Answer:
Energy Metabolism
Explanation:
In order to a living cell you need to be able to reproduce, have energy metabolism, etc.
protein digestion begins when you first start chewing. there are two enzymes in your salvia called amylase and lipase. they most break down carbohydrates and fats. Once a protein source reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acid enzymes called proteases break it down into smaller chains of amino acids
Answer:
B. The information will be reliable
Explanation:
By elimination:
Information on government websites is usually impartial, so A is eliminated. Additionally, information on a government website is not necessarily easy to understand, so that choice cannot be the correct answer either. The only remaining choice is B, so it is correct.
Created by Rosalind Franklin using a technique called X-ray crystallography, it revealed the helical shape of the DNA molecule. Watson and Crick realized that DNA was made up of two chains of nucleotide pairs that encode the genetic information for all living things.
