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.

Based on the model of cellular transport, the hydrolysis of ATP and ADP provide a mechanism for
Ronch [10]

Answer:

<em>Cellular transport is the movement of ions or molecules across the membrane of the cell through either active or passive process.</em>

Explanation:

During active transport, ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is used. In passive transport, ATP is not used. In active cellular transport, the ions move across the membrane against the concentration gradient.

For ATP to be used, it has to get hydrolyzed thereby forming ADP and inorganic phosphate. On the other hand, ADP captures the energy through the oxidation process taking place in the cell.
