Answer:

12

12

24

Explanation:

<em><u>Musca</u></em> <u><em>domestica</em></u> is the scientific name of an animal popularly known as Housefly.  From the question, it is  known that this organism has a haploid chromosome number of 6.

In a diploid chromosomes, the number of chromatids that will be present will be twice of that in haploid.

Since haploid (n) = 6, diploid (2n) will be; 2 × 6 = 12

Somatic cells on the other hand also exhibit diploid number of chromosomes, again it means we will have (2n) = 2 × 6 = 12

In metaphase cell, cells do make sure they complete the S'phase of the cell cycle before cellular division.Therefore, the DNA present in the chromatids in the S'phase actively engage in chromatids doubling, as a result, 24 chromatids (i.e 12 × 2= 24) exists in the metaphase cell.

What is NOT an impact that an invasive non-native species has on an ecosystem?
Elza [17]

D) increases reproduction of native species

Explanation:

Non-invasive or non-native species or exotic species do not increase the reproduction rate of native species.

In fact, studies have shown that they reduce the rate of reproduction of the native ones.

  • Invasive species where they are successful are huge threat to the stability of an ecosystem.
  • Some invasive species are capable of destroying habitats by substituting for their functional roles.
  • They compete with native species. In some cases, where an invasive specie is a predator, it preys on the native ones.
  • Invasive species are capable of destroying the food source in an ecosystem.

Order the process of nuclear fusion, beginning with the first step on top and ending with the last step on the bottom. Drag answ
almond37 [142]

1. hydrogen atoms crash together  

Hydrogen atoms (or protons) fuse within the Sun core and fall apart.

2. helium atoms are formed  

Helium atom is a product of the proton-proton fusion and this process occurs through a series of steps.  

3. an enormous amount of energy is released

The transformation that occurs after the fusion results in a release of huge amount of energy that keeps the sun hot. Energy is radiated out from the core of the Sun

4. energy travels to Earth in the form of light energy and heat

This energy is called The Solar energy to the Earth because it hits the surface of the Earth itself.

5. plants will use energy from the sun to make their own food

Plants are phototrophic organisms that transform the light energy into usable energy for their metabolism.
