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.

Breathing rate is most likely to increase if the blood level of
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Breathing rate is most likely to increase if the blood level of carbon dioxide increase.

Explanation:

Breathing rate is the number of breaths of a person during a specific time, is usually the number of respiratory cycles that occur per minute. External respiration is the process of exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide from the outside of the human body to pulmonary capillary blood. Once in the lungs, oxygen (and carbon dioxide to a very small extent) through the alveoli, pass into the red blood cells of the pulmonary vein blood. Carbon dioxide reacts in the blood with water, thanks to an enzyme, giving rise to bicarbonate. Blood reaches the heart, and is pumped into the cells by systemic arteries. The oxygen in the blood crosses the cell membrane and in turn, an exchange occurs, since the cell expels carbon dioxide and oxygen that it has not used. Once the exchange is done, the blood is conducted through the systematic veins with oxygen whose partial pressure is lower, and with an increase in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide. It reaches the heart again, leads through the right atrium and ventricle and finally travels through the pulmonary artery to the lungs where the air is expelled (expiration). Breathing rate tends to increase when the level of carbon dioxide in the blood increase.

According to the law of conservation of energy, which statement must be true?​
jasenka [17]

Answer:

D. The total energy of a system can increase only if energy enters the system

Explanation:

According to the law of Conservation of Energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed or converted from one form to the other.

A system has the same energy until there is an addition of energy externally. When energy is added, it will lead to an increment in energy. So, when work is done to the system or the system heated, energy increases.

1)The soda lime in the respirometer absorbs carbon dioxide.
Ahat [919]

Answer:

In order to find out the rate of respiration.

Explanation:

The soda lime in the respirometer absorbs carbon dioxide gas  which is important in this investigation because we measure the rate of respiration and for measuring that we have to measure the rate of oxygen and carbondioxide so that's why soda lime absorb carbondioxide gas in the respirometer. Growth and movement are the two uses of energy in a fly larva. The energy that is produced in the fly larva is used for the growth of the body and other activities such as mobility etc.
