Answer: Haploid cells have 23 chromosomes while diploid cells have 46 (23 pairs) chromosomes

Explanation: Haploid cells are produced in a type of cell division called meiosis. In meiosis, parent cells undergo two cell divisions to produce four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes in the parent cell. Diploid cells are produced by a type of cell division known as mitosis. In mitosis, parent cells undergo one cell division to produce two identical daughter cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Gametes undergo meiosis while somatic cells undergo mitosis.

Plato help pleaseeeeeeeeee
Ksju [112]
I believe the correct response would be B. Since of evolution were to occur, the possibility of the geographically isolated snakes to reproduce would be 0. Since the gene pool or the collection of all the genes in the population were to change and as a result of future reproductions of the 2 populations over time, transmission of specific genes that code for traits were to be specific for that population, ultimately not allowing them to reproduce.
