<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.

Microscopic plants called algae grow inside the top layer of sea ice in the Antarctic if enough sunlight reaches that layer of i
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is: (A).

Explanation:

  • In the question, it is mentioned that the algae can grow under the conditions of "enough sunlight" and "enough nutrients".
  • Sunlight reaches the algae, by first falling on the surface made up of ice and snow and then refracting from there into the top layer of the ice where the algae grows.
  • However, the capability of both snow and ice to reflect sunlight is far more than that of refracting sunlight.
  • Therefore, the amount of light received by the algae is similar in absence or presence of the layer of snow on the top layer of ice.
  • However, on deposition of snow on the layer of the ice, the weight of the ice increases and it sinks below into sea water.
  • This allows more nutrient rich sea water to percolate into the ice and reach the algae.
  • The algae receive more nutrients from the sea water and hence is capable undergoing better metabolism and growth.
  • Hence, more algae are produced under such a situation.
