Answer:

39 chromosomes

Explanation:

A chicken is a sexually reproducing organism that undergoes meiosis to produce gametes. Meiosis is a type of cell division that involves the production of daughter cells (gametes) that have their chromosomal number reduced by half.

Hence, if the somatic or body cell of the chicken being ingested by Amanda contains 78 chromosomes, it will undergo meiosis to produce a sperm or egg that has 39 chromosomes i.e. reduced from diploid (2n) to haploid (n).

Answer:

39

Explanation:

Somatic or body cells are diploid and are denoted by 2n number of chromosomes. During meiosis, specifically after meiosis I in cell division, the chromosome number is reduced to half the number of that of the somatic cell, and is referred to as haploid, which is denoted by n number of chromosomes.

Therefore, if the somatic cell of the bird has 78 chromosomes, the sex cell (unfertilized egg or sperm) would contain half of the number of chromosomes of the somatic cell = 39 chromosomes.

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

2. Tuber

Explanation:

Reproduction is the process by which living organisms multiply themselves. They do this through two major ways namely: asexually and sexually. Sexual reproduction involves two organisms (male and female) that each donate a gamete (sperm and egg). In plants, the sexual reproductive structure is the FLOWER. The male flower is called STAMEN, while the female flower is called PISTIL.

However, plants can also be propagated asexually by making use of certain plant parts including tubers, leaf etc. TUBER is a structure in plant specifically used to asexually reproduce plants like yam, potato, cassava etc.

Liula [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is: True.

Explanation:

  • The writing of a person is controlled by an region located in the left part of frontal lobe of the brain which is known as the Broca's area.
  • Writing is a motor impulse send by the brain to the hand and fingers.
  • However, no two individual can have the same hand-writing.
  • This is because hand-writing is not only dependent on the brain to hand motor co-ordination.
  • It also depends upon the psychology, mentality, thought process, state of mind, nature of the person and also the influence of the surroundings on the person.
  • It also depends on the preference of the person to keep his writing artistic or simple or illegible.
  • All these factors can never match between two persons.
  • This is the reason, no two persons can share the exactly same hand-writing.

Protozoans are the only organisms that can convert nitrogen from the air into chemical compounds that plants can use.
tigry1 [53]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Protozoans are not the organism that fix nitrogen for the plants. The organism that fix nitrogen to convert it into a form which can be used by plants are known as diazotrophs.

These are bacteria and archae that fix nitrogen gas found in the atmosphere into more usable form such as ammonia.

These organism can grow without any external source of fixed nitrogen. Example: Rhizobia and azospirillium.
