A--What do you get if you add the number of maternal chromosomes in a somatic cell to the number of autosomes in a sex cell, the
madam [21]

Answer:

44

Explanation:

A somatic cell is diploid - it has 46 chromosomes. Half of these are from the mother, so there are 23 maternal chromosomes

A sex cell (gamete) is haploid - it has 23 chromosomes. There are (usually) two sex chromosomes in a diploid genome, either XX or XY, so there is one 1 in a haploid cell, giving a total of 22 autosomes

Barr bodies are inactive X chromosomes in a female somatic cell. This occurs to control dosage compensation (otherwise all the genes on the X in females would be expressed twice as much as they are in males). In a healthy female, there is normally one Barr body

A person with Kleinfelter's syndrome has two X chromosomes and one Y (XXY). They are biologically male, but have two X chromosomes. Therefore, one of these becomes a Barr body, as in females.

23 + 22 - 1 = 44

What is Teddy's organization trying to accomplish?
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The sensitization and awareness campaign by Teddy's organization was aimed to prevent greenhouse effects by preserving the integrity of the ozone layer in deflecting the dangerous ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

Explanation:

Products such as aerosols, refrigerators, and other substances that can release Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) had been banned due to their bye product of CFCs which had been studied to be harmful to the ecosystem, especially the stratosphere.

The released CFCs are volatile and escape faster due to their low relative density. Therefore, they tend to get into the upper atmosphere within a couple of minutes. When CFCs and Ultraviolet radiation reacts, it leads to the formation of mono oxides of chlorine and bromine. These fragments (Cl2O and Br2O) are capable of reducing the protective ozone shield into ordinary oxygen, which cannot prevent the penetration of harmful ultraviolet radiation into the earth, which cause mutation of DNA and destruction of protein content of the animals and plants on the earth, and finally to cancer and other genetic mutation problems.
