The answers would be 24 and fertilises.
Pollen is the male gamete of lily, which is a haploid cell, with only half the chromosomes of the normal diploid ones. Therefore, if the haploid gamete has 12 chromosomes, so the diploid would be 12+12 which makes 24.
The egg is also a gamete of lily, but it's a female gamete. It is also a haploid cell, with only 12 chromosomes which is given in the question. So, when the sperm fuses and fertilises the egg, the zygote would have 24 chromosomes which is formed by 2 haploid gametes.
Answer:
250 years
Explanation:
The Atlantic Ocean is not static, but instead it is very active, and it is actually spreading from its central part. In its central part, this ocean has a mid-ocean ridge. This basically means that there is constant formation of new crust from the magma that comes out, and the old crust is pushed sideways as the new one is formed. On an annual level, the mid-ocean ridge is spreading out by an estimated 0.02 meters, thus that is how much the Atlantic Ocean is spreading out each year. In order to get to the result as to how many years are needed for the Atlantic Ocean to spread 500 cm, we just need to multiply the annual spreading with the number of cm in question:
0.02 x 500 =250
Thus we get a result of 250, meaning that in 250 years the Atlantic Ocean will spread out 500 cm in total.
Answer:
<h2>False</h2>
Explanation:
Natural killer cells (NK cells) are a type of lymphocyte and also a component of innate immune system. NK cells play various functions in immune system and they play a major role in the host-rejection in virally infected cells.
NK cells are activated in response to interferons and also by various other responses. NK cells work to by secreting IFNγ and TNFα. Natural killer cells play a very important role in early host defense against viruses.
