A normal cell from the lung of an organism contains 52 chromosomes. What is the haploid

Biology
1 answer:
Naddik [55]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

26

Explanation:

Lung cells are somatic cells, meaning that they are diploids (2n).

The number of chromosomes in a haploid (n) cell is half as much as the diploid cell.

In this case, 2n = 52

so: n = 1/2 × 2n = 1/2 × 52 = 26

Skeletal muscle has ____________ cells with multiple nuclei. It functions in ____________ movement of the body. Skeletal muscle
vichka [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be

1. Striated

2. Multiple

3. Broken down

4. Tendon

Explanation:

Skeletal muscles are the voluntary muscles found in the human body.

These muscles are made up of muscle fibers or muscle cells which look striated in appearance with many peripheral nuclei. The muscle helps in the locomotion of the body through controlled actions which help in the multiple types of movement.

The muscle moves when it receives impulse signals from the CNS which leads to the utilization of the ATP, the ATP is broken down which helps in the contraction of the muscle. The muscle is connected to the bone via a connective tissue called tendon, as the muscle contracts, it moves the tendon which helps in the locomotion.

Thus, the marked answers are the correct options.

Living things use many strategies for producing offspring, but most strategies fall neatly into the categories of either sexual
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

In asexual reproduction method, the offspring generated is identical genetically to the parents. But this is not the case in sexual reproduction. The reason being that the gametes or sex cells produced has only one set of chromosomes and are therefore haploid after the process of meiosis. Meiosis is the process when the offspring formed has chromosomes from two parents and is not identical to the parent. Only certain characteristics are inherited by the offspring from both the parents and offspring has different set of characteristics.  

There is a process of assortment taking place inside the cell when the double set of chromosomes becomes one set in a gamete. Out of the pair of chromosomes, there is a random selection. Due to this random assortment, there is a genetic variation between the gametes as the gene alleles on the chromosome are not the same. This principle is said to be the Mendel’s first law of segregation.  

Another process of combining chromosomes is the crossing over during the meiosis stage which results in variety of chromosomes. We can say that recombination is possible.  

Hence, we can note that during assortment and crossing over, there is no chance for two offspring to be identical to the same mother or father with the exception of identical twins. In the case of identical twins, the genetically identical characteristics develops from same fertilized egg.  

From the above process, the structure of gene gets changed creating a variant that can get transmitted to next generation. The change is caused by altering the single base units of DNA or rearranging larger section of genes.
