Answer:
5. The correct answer would be an option A. ova
Note: I assume that all the samples are of human origin.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) content of somatic cells of humans consists of 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of chromosomes. Gametes (sperm or ova) are haploid cells produced by the process of meiosis and contain half the number of chromosomes found in parent cell. Hence, they contain 23 chromosomes.
6. The correct answer would be an option J.
Sperm formation or spermatogenesis is the process by which spermatozoa (haploid gamete) is produced from germ cell with the help of meiotic division.
Meiosis results in the formation of four haploid (n) cells from single diploid (2n) parent cell. Here, 2n is given as 8 so, n would be equal to 4.
Meiosis I results in the formation of two secondary spermatocyte cells (both haploid or 4 chromosomes in this case) from single primary spermatocyte (diploid or 8 chromosome in this case).
Both the secondary spermatocytes undergo meiosis II to produce 4 spermatids (each haploid or 4 chromosome in this case). Spermatids differentiate and mature into spermatozoa.

NOTE: the steps of the signal transduction pathway to be arranged is in the attached file.
Answer:
The correct signal transduction pathway in order from the releasing of glucagon into the blood to the promotion of glycogenolysis includes:
- Glucagon binds extracellulary to G- protein coupled receptor.
-G protein releases GDP and binds FTP
-Activated G protein activates adenylate (adenylate) cyclase.
-Adenylate cyclase converts ATP to cAMP.
-Cyclic AMP activates protein kinase A
- phosphorylase kinase phosphorylates glucogen phosphorylase, an enzyme needed for glycogenolysis.
Explanation:
As carbohydrates from food consumed is digested, it's end product, the glucose, is assimilated into the cells for energy production through the help of insulin in a process called glycolysis. Excess of glucose is stored in the liver as GLYCOGEN.
In cases where there is reduced sugar in the blood (hypoglycemic state) another pathway (known as glycogenolysis through
GLUCAGON hormone) is initiated to elevate the concentration of glucose in the blood.
