Answer: The correct answer is  23 from the mother and 23 from the father.

A child inherits 50% of the genetic material from each parent. Human beings are diploid organisms as pair of each chromosome is present in their cells ( except sex chromosome in males). They contain 46 chromosomes.

For reproduction, gametogenesis takes place, during which sex cells ( sperms in males and egg in female) These cells are produced by the process of reductional cell divsion, which is called as meiosis. Thus, sex cells conatin 23 chromosomes.

Parents pass their chromosomes to child via these sex cells.

Thus, a child inherits 23 chromosomes from the mother and 23 chromosomes from the father.

If two intermediate-colored chickens together produced 100 chicks, how many would you expect to be black?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: 25 of the chicks will be black

Explanation: Since the chickens are intermediate in colour, that is they are not black, they are heterozygous. Let B represent the allele for black colour and B represent the allele for blue colour, therefore the genotype of a chicken with an intermediate colour is Bb. A cross between two Bb chicken will produce 1 BB, 2 Bb and 1 bb chicks. 1 BB will manifest outwardly as black, 2Bb will manifest outwardly as intermediate colored while 1 bb will manifest outwardly as blue colored chicks.

Since one out of four chicks are black colored, if the two chicken produced 100 chicks, the number of chicks that will be black is 1/4 x 100 = 25. Therefore, 25 chicks out of 100 will be black.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: lower atmospheric pressure

Explanation:

During the inspiration process the diaphragm, and external intercostal muscles. The contraction of the diaphragm causes the increase in the size of the thoracic cavity this causes the contraction of the external intercostal muscles. As a result of this the ribs and the sternum get elevated.  

This causes the lungs to expand, and increasing the volume of the air passage. In this response the air pressure inside the lungs reduces below the air outside the body. Thus this facilitates the movement of the gases from a region of high pressure to low pressure, this way the air rushes into the lungs.
