Since the adult mouse obtains 40 chromosomes, the mouse zygote would have the same, 40 chromosomes.

Answer:

20 chromosomes in sperm cells and 40 chromosomes in zygote.

Explanation:

Mouse is a diploid organism, having two sets of chromosomes. Each somatic cell of mouse has 40 chromosomes (20 pairs of chromosomes). Gametes (eggs or sperm) are produced by the process of meiosis that leads to formation of daughter cells with half number of chromosomes as present in parent cell.

Hence, each mouse sperm or egg will carry 20 chromosomes. Zygote is developed by fusion of male gamete (sperm) and  female gamete (egg). Hence, the number of chromosomes in mouse zygote will be 40.

Which is the main light-absorbing pigment for photosynthesis?
snow_tiger [21]
Photosynthesis is carried out in the chloroplasts which contain the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is what gives plants their characteristic color and it works by capturing the energy that is in the sunlight that strikes the plant. Photosynthesis is important to life on Earth because grass uses photosnthesis to produce glucose, which is used within the grass for growth<span>. Subsequently, organisms that consume the grass obtain energy and so on. Therefore, photosynthesis is the process through which energy enters an ecosystem.</span>

What are valence electrons?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The simple answer is the electrons in the outermost energy level.

Hydrogen has 1 electron in the outermost energy level.

Magnesium has 2 so this tells you that magnesium has a charge of 2

Oxygen has 6  oxygen has a charge of - 2

Fluorine has 7

For most elements, the electrons in the most outer ring determine the valence of the element.

Notice that the non metals work differently than the metals. Mg may have a charge of 2 and that is the number of electrons in the valence right.

Oxygen is a non metal it has a charge of - 2. It gets 6 electrons by subtracting the number of its charge from 8.
