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.

Which type of muscle cell propels substances or objects through internal passageways? skeletal. cardiac. smooth. striated.
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Smooth muscle

Explanation:

  • The smooth muscle is one of the three types of muscle present in the human body and other animals.
  • The smooth muscle is called smooth because of its smooth appearance without any striations in its structure.
  • The smooth muscle is made of the spindle-shaped cells characterized by a single nucleus.
  • The smooth muscle cells are controlled by the autonomic nervous system and therefore is involuntary in its action.

The smooth muscle is present in the hollow organs and propels the substances through these hollow internal passages like in the alimentary canal of the digestive tract and urinary bladder.

Thus, the Smooth muscle is correct.

alukav5142 [94]

The intermediate disturbance hypothesis predicts that species diversity will be highest  when the frequency and/or intensity of disturbances are intermediate

Explanation:

The diversity of the species is maximised at an intermediate near of anthropogenic as well as natural disturbances. As the competitively inferior disturbances are being tolerated for species disturbance and are termed to be dominant. Co exist of the sensitive species when the disturbance are either frequent or rare, which possess the reduced level of the disturbances. the productivity is predicted as very less due to competitive exclusion. As the disturbances increases productivity becomes less as most of them unable to sustain the regular destructive occurrence. So with the intermediate disturbances productivity is high as the rapid colonizers and dominant competitors are able to coexist.

In guinea pigs coat color is determined by a single gene with two alleles. A guinea pig from a true-breeding black strain is mat
OLga [1]

Answer:

1/3 of black F2 progeny will be homozygous.

Explanation:

Here, BB = black coat color = true breeding dominant black strain

bb = white coat color =  true breeding recessive white strain

When true breeding black and white guinea pigs are mated to give F1 progeny:

BB X bb = Bb ( all black guinea pigs )

When two of the F1 guinea pigs are mated to give F2 progeny:

Bb X Bb = BB, Bb, Bb, bb

F2 progeny has 3/4 progeny as black (BB and Bb) . Out of them 1/3 are homozygous and 2/3 are heterozygous.

Hence, 1/3 of black F2 progeny will be homozygous.
