Vesna [10]

Answer:

A and B

Explanation:

A and B are correct answers.

C is incorrect because Botulism does not produce stiff muscle, in fact it produces flaccid paralysis. Stiff muscles and lockjaw is produced by C. Tetani.

D is somewhat incorrect because, although you can kill the toxins via heat, you would need to heat your food to over 100°C for around 10 minutes, which no one does. Thus, reheating beans would not protect you from the bacteria and/or its toxins.

If an organism has 8 chromosomes in each of its sperm cells, how many chromosomes would you expect to find in its liver cells?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - 16 chromosomes or 8 chromosome pairs per cell.

Explanation:

In the body of an organism, all the somatic cells have the same number of chromosomes irrespective of their location in the body which is 2n or diploid. Liver cells would also have 2n number of chromosomes. The diploid number of cells are produced by the mitosis type of cell division or by fusing the sex cell that are egg cells and sperm cells. These sex cells are haploid of n number of cells or haploid.

If a sex cell as given in question sperm cells have 8 chromosomes then the liver cell would be 2n because sex cells after forming a zygote develooped to all other somatic cells including liver cells.

Sex cell = n = 8 chromosomes

liver cell - 2n = 2×8 = 16 chromosomes.
