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.

What are some natural measures of time
Len [333]

most events like the rising and setting of the Sun were used a natural measurement of time until recently.

Solar time, which is based on the motion of the Sun, is not the only way of measuring time, however. One might keep track of the regular appearance of the full Moon. That event occurs once about every 29.5 solar days. The time between appearances of new moons, then, could be used to define a month.

One also can use the position of the stars for measuring time. The system is the same as that used for the Sun, since the Sun itself is a star. All other stars also rise and set on a regular basis.

Although any one of these systems is a satisfactory method for measuring some unit of time, such as a day or a month, the systems may conflict with each other. It is not possible, for example, to fit 365 solar days into 12 or 13 lunar months exactly. This problem creates the need for leap years

How is the way a mixture is combined different from how a compound is combined?
artcher [175]

Mixture is composed of molecules of different types. A compound can only be separated through chemical means. While a compound is a pure substance that contains 2 or more elements chemically combined together while a mixture are formed when two substances are added together without chemical bonds being formed.

Ultraviolet radiation and radiation of shorter wavelengths can damage biological molecules because they carry enough energy to b
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

343.98 nm is the longest wavelength of radiation with enough energy to break carbon–carbon bonds.

Explanation:

A typical carbon–carbon bond requires 348 kJ/mol=348000 J/mol

Energy required to breakl sigle C-C bond:E

E=\frac{348000 J/mol}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}}=5.7788\times 10^{-19} J

E=\frac{h\times c}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of photon

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

\lambda = wavelength of the radiation

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the energy of the photons.

\lambda =\frac{(6.63\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{5.7788\times 10^{-19} J}

\lambda =3.4398\\times 10^{-7}m=343.98 nm

1 m = 10^{9} nm

343.98 nm is the longest wavelength of radiation with enough energy to break carbon–carbon bonds.
