"You discover a new species of snail, Biologica terificia, and find that its haploid number is 4 (n = 4). The somatic cells of B

Answer:

8 chromosomes

Explanation:

Diploid state is when an organism have two set of chromosomes (2n) i.e. combination of two haploid (n) gametes containing one set of chromosome each. Sexually reproducing organisms whose somatic or body cells are diploid (2n) undergo meiosis to produce gametes or sex cells with haploid number (n).

Therefore, in the newly discovered Biologica terificia species of snail, if the haploid state (n) of their gametes is 4, then their diploid (2n) somatic cells must be 4 × 2 = 8.

The question specifies the chromosomal number at the G1 phase of Interphase. At this stage, the cell is preparing to undergo division by increasing in size and duplicating its organnelles but not yet its genetic material which is not until the next phase called S-phase. Hence, the chromosome number of somatic cells remain 8 at the G1 phase.

How might a population crash be related to resource availability in the environment or the carrying capacity of the ecosystem?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

To a certain extent, population numbers are self-regulating because deaths increase when a population exceeds its carrying capacity. Disease, competition, predator-prey interaction, resource use and the number of populations in an ecosystem all affect carrying capacity.

1) Plant and animal cells are both categorized the same as prokaryotes or eukaryotes based on the presence of a particular membrane-bound organelle – the nucleus, bounded by the nuclear membrane.  

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells are distinctive by the lack of a definitive nuclear structure or nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a definitive nucleus with a nucleolus and DNA strands and stores the genetic information or the genes which are encased inside the nuclear envelope or membrane. Prokaryotic cells have their DNA in their cytoplasm since they lack a nucleus.

2) The organelles/structures that are found only within plant cells are chloroplasts and central vacuole.  

Chloroplasts are exclusively found only in plants. The chloroplasts contain the chlorophyll, the green pigment which helps the plants to absorb solar or light energy trapped from the sun to carry out photosynthesis.  

The central vacuole, the largest organelle, membrane-enclosed sac filled with fluid called cell sap. The central vacuole provides basic support and structure, maintain cell pressure, store reserve food and waste materials, and contains enzymes which aid various cellular activities.
