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.

Membrane phospholipids
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

The phospholipids are the major constituents of the cell membrane of a cell. The phospholipids contains the glycerol attached to the phosphate group and forms the hydrophilic heads whereas the fatty acid tails from the hydrophobic portion of the membrane.

The hydrophobic head face outwards whereas the tails face inwards.  The structure of the membrane as arranged in bi lipid layer form and in such a way that the membrane molecules can move.  The other molecules present in the membrane like the proteins can drift in the membrane.

Thus, Option-C is correct.
