Answer:

6 chromosomes in its egg cell

Explanation:

The Jimsonweed, Datura stramonium, is a plant that produces gametes in order for sexual reproduction to occur. All sexually reproducing organisms undergo meiosis to produce gametes. Likewise, an egg cell (female gamete) will be produced by the Jimsonweed plant via meiosis. Meiosis is a kind of cell division that results in daughter cells with each having their chromosomal number reduced by half.

If the body cells of the Jimsonweed contain 12 chromosomes each, the gametes (egg cell) produced by meiotic division will have 6 number of chromosomes. This reduction in the chromosome number of gametes is important in order to maintain the correct chromosomal number of the offsprings. For example, a diploid organism (2n) undergoes meiosis to produce haploid gametes (n), which will unite with another (n) gamete to produce the 2n offspring.

6 chromosomes. This is because gametes are usually characterised as to having only half the number of chromosomes of the somatic cells.
This is done through meiotic division.

How did endosymbiosis impact the structural differences between bacteria, animals, plants and fungi?
Furkat [3]

Answer:DNA, RNA, Ribosomes and Protein Synthesis

This provided the first substantial evidence for the endosymbiosis hypothesis. It was also determined that mitochondria and chloroplasts divide independently of the cell they live in.

Explanation:

<em>What role did endosymbiosis play in the evolution of eukaryotes? Endosymbiosis led to the evolution of eukaryotic cells with mitochondria and chloroplasts. This kind of natural selection led to the evolution of eukaryotic cells and the plants and animals we see today.</em>
