Answer:

13 chromosomes, meiosis

Explanation:

the sperm cell contributes half of the chromosome in an offspring while the egg cells contributes the other half. Hence, the sperm cell has half of 26, 13. This process is called meiosis. Meiosis is when one cell undergoes cell division twice, thus creating 4 new cells. Each of these 4 new cells have half the amount of chromosomes as the original cell.

Cloud [144]

Explanation:

An acid is a substance that ionizes to produce excess hydrogen ion in solutions.

A concentrated acid contains a high amount of hydrogen ions in solution compared to other ions.
Such solutions usually ionizes completely.
A dilute solution contains a high proportion of water and with low amount of hydrogen ions.
They do not ionize easily and as fast as strong acids.
