Answer:

<em>The result of the union will be ' All future somatic cells of the organism will contain the (2n + 1) number of chromosomes. '</em>

Explanation:

As we know, fertilization is a process in which the egg cell and the sperm cell join to form a zygote. If an egg cell which contains n+1 number of chromosomes joins with a sperm cell containing n chromosomes, then the zygote formed will have n+n+1 i.e 2n + 1 number of chromosomes.  The zygote  goes through multiple cell divisions to form different cells. All the somatic cells are formed by mitosis. As mitosis produces identical daughter cells hence, all of the somatic cells will have 2n + 1 number of chromosomes.

Heat Transfer discussion based question
lilavasa [31]

Answer: Thermal energy flows from a warmer material to a cooler material.  When thermal energy is transferred to a material, the motion of its particles speeds up and its temperature increases. There are three ways heat is transferred into and through the atmosphere: Radiation, conduction and convection.

Radiation is when energy, in the form of electromagnetic radiation, is emitted by a heated surface in all directions and travels directly to its point of absorption at the speed of light; thermal radiation does not require an intervening medium to carry it. Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules. Convection is heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid such as air or water when the heated fluid is caused to move away from the source of heat, carrying energy with it.

Organism A has blunt teeth, while organism B has sharp ones. Identify the organisms on basis of their feed habit and give anothe
VikaD [51]

Answer:

- Organism A is most likely a herbivore

- Organism B is most likey a carnivore

Explanation:

Based on feeding habit, organisms, usually animals, can be classified into three categories namely: herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.

- Herbivores are those organisms that feed on vegetative matter i.e. plants while carnivores are those organisms that feed on flesh of other animals or organisms. Based on what they feed on, herbivores are adapted to possess blunt teeth (for chewing) like Organism A in this question while carnivores are adapted to possess sharp teeth (for tearing flesh) like Organism B.

Based on the above explanation, organism A is most likely a HERBIVORE while organisms B is most likely a CARNIVORE.

- Another notable point of difference between herbivores and carnivores, which is likely to differentiate organism A and B as well, is that herbivores possess digestive enzyme- amylase in their saliva while carnivores do not. Herbivores need AMYLASE to break down complex carbohydrate (starch) in the plants they feed on.
