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.

Monica [59]

For an organism to function properly all the physiological factors should be favorable. These physiological factors include water level, pH, temperature etc. To perform the basic function of the life, it is important to maintain the physiological parameter in a particular range.  

In case, these physiological parameters are not balanced, then the body of the organism does not perform well and causes illness.  

So, the first blank can be filled with temperature and the second blank can be filled with range.
