<span>Almost all cells in an animal (except gametes) have two sets of chromosomes. This means that animal cells have two homologous copies of each chromosome, usually one from the mother and one from the father. Such organisms are called diploids. Humans are also diploid organisms which means that they carry two complete sets of chromosomes: one set of 23 chromosomes from their father and one set of 23 chromosomes from their mother. The two sets combined provide a full complement of 46 chromosomes. The haploid cells are gametes (sperm or egg cells) which contain one set of chromosomes, in case of human 23.</span>

The answer is 2. This is why their autosomal cells are referred to as diploid in chromosome number. The gametes have only one set of chromosomes. The homologous pair (sister chromosome) separate during meiosis I. If there was an extra chromosome in addition to this set then this would cause a condition called aneuploidy.

Why is fishing for some kinds of ocean fish controlled by laws?
lora16 [44]
C is the answer. Due to the current state of the world economy; people, if left to their own devices, would fish as much as possible so they can sell their fish to make money. Current technology means we can catch as many fish as we want (trawlers etc.). The problem with this is that there is only a finite amount of fish in the sea. If we were to fish them without limits in place, we could cause them to go extinct.

Overtime, why does natural selection continue to work?
dedylja [7]

Environments are always changing so organisms need to adapt to survive. The organisms that survive are the ones that are fit to live in that environment, which is where survival of the fittest comes into play.

An object has a kinetic energy at 500 J and a mass of 30 kg. How fast is the object moving?​
Fofino [41]

E = m*v^2 / 2

500 = (30)*(v^2) / 2

1000 / 30 = v^2

sqrt(1000/30) = v

v = 5.774 m/s
