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.

Antibodies are produced when the body is exposed to
erica [24]


Antibodies are produced when the body is exposed to antigens.

During an initial encounter with a foreign antigen, the body's immune system namely the adaptive arm of the immune system, produces memory cells, a group of special lymphocytes that retain and store memory of the antigen.

On a second encounter with the same kind of antigen, the immune system "remembers" the antigen and mounts a rapid, specific and vigorous immune response against the antigen. This response includes the production of massive amounts of antibodies very specific to the antigen.

The antibodies effectively neutralize the antigen and facilitate its destruction.

almond37 [142]

Answer: A. In the electron transport chain, a series of reactions move electrons through carriers.

B. The products of the electron transport chain are H2O and either NAD or FAD.

E. The electron transport chain is a series of oxidation-reduction reactions that occur in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Explanation:

the best suitable statement is it transfers energy stepwise from one compound to another, The electron transport chain is a series of proteins and organic molecules found in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Electrons are transferred from one member of the transport chain to another in a series of redox reactions.
