Regular human body cells contain a total of 46 chromosomes. Therefore, because of meiosis, sperm cells contain ____ chromosomes.

Nataliya [291]3 years ago

Regular human body cells or somatic cells have a total of 46 chromosomes. Therefore, because of meiosis, sperm cells, which are gametes or sex cells must contain 1/2 of the number of total chromosomes found within a somatic cell, to make sure that the chromosome number within an organism is maintained, this would be 23 in this case.

What is the function of a fruiting body?
Montano1993 [528]
Specialized structures for reproduction: One example is a fruiting body. Just like a fruit is involved in the reproduction of a fruiting plant, a fruiting body is involved in the reproduction of a fungus. A mushroom is a fruiting body, which is the part of the fungus that produces spores (Figure below

Which of the following explains why water is a good solvent for polar and ionic compounds?
Anni [7]

Hi there!

<u>Electronegativity</u> is the concept of how likely an atom is to attract the shared molecules in one of these bonds to itself. We know the molecule water is made up of two hydrogens and one oxygen. The electronegativity of hydrogen is 2.2, and oxygen 3.4. An <u>ionic bond</u> needs at least a difference in electronegativity of 1.6. As the difference is less than that, we can say that water is a covalent molecule. This then wipes out choice B, because it is not ionic, and C, as we have seen it is actually covalent.

Now, we can see the difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen is still 1.2. This means that while it is not at the point for there to be an ionic bond, there is still a difference in attraction, where the electrons will tend to favor the oxygen more and 'hang around it' more. As electrons are <u>negatively charged</u><em><u>,</u></em> this means that the oxygen will gain a slightly negative charge. This then makes the molecule polar, because it now has a charge within the molecule. This means we have our answer, choice D.

In terms of hydrophobic molecules - they tend to be ones without a charge. (If you're interested in this kind of stuff, I'd search hydrophobic up, and possibly also look into hydrogen bonds).

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask me any other questions you have about this specific problem.

Like with living primates, we are able to definitively distinguish catarrhines from platyrrhines in the fossil record by what fe
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The structure of their noses.

Explanation:

Catarrhines are distinguished from platyrrhines by several traits but the main distinctive feature between them, is the structure of their noses. This forms the basis of their names.

Platyrrhines are characterized by laterally-placed, rounded nostrils or flat-nosed while catarrhines have narrow, downward-facing nostrils or hooked-nosed.

Another distinguishing feature include their dental formulation which is 2.1.2.3 in catarrhines and 2.1.3.3 in platyrrhines.

The skull structure of catarrhines have frontal bone which make contact with the sphenoid bone unlike the platyrrhines.

Generally, catarrhines are much bigger in size than platyrrhines.
