An elephant has 56 chromosomes. Which statement about a zygote of an elephant is true? The zygote has 28 chromosomes, mostly inh

erited from the father. The zygote has 56 chromosomes, all inherited from the mother. The zygote has 28 chromosomes, all inherited from the mother. The zygote has 56 chromosomes, 28 inherited from the mother and 28 from the father. The zygote has 28 chromosomes, 14 inherited from the mother and 14 from the father.

Alright if this works the same way it does with humans (i'm almost totally sure it does but just in case) the answer is: the zygote has 56 chromosomes, 28 inherited from the mother and 28 from the father.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, The zygote has 56 chromosomes, 28 inherited from the mother and 28 from the father.

Explanation:

Elephant is a mammal just like human beings and the process of cell division is pretty much similar in both the types of species. In humans an offspring has 46 chromosome , 23 donated by mother and the rest 23 donated by father thereby producing a diploid cell. In the same way in an elephant,  of the total chromosome number in the offspring cell, equal contribution shall be from both the parents.

olasank [31]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is - A student poured a solution of bromthymol blue indicator into three test tubes. Then, he placed and aquatic plant in two of the test tubes, as shown below. He placed a stopper on each test tube and placed them all in the dark for 24 hours. Brothymol blue turns from blue to yellow in the presence of CO2.

Which process would you expect the organisms in the test tubes to carry out-- cell respiration, photosynthesis or both? When would you expect each process to occur?

Answer:

Photosynthesis is the process of the formation of the food in case of plants in the presence of sunlight with the help of carbon dioxide, water and soil. The light energy is converted into the chemical energy.

The beaker is blue because plants uses carbon dioxide for their food preparation. When the beakers are kept in the dark place, instead of photosynthesis cellular respiration occur that made energy from the food for their survival.

Sort the examples into proper mechanisms of reproductive isolation.
vovangra [49]
The mechanisms of reproductive isolation prevent the reproduction of two individuals from different species. The prezygotic mechanisms disrupt the stages of reproduction before the forming of the zygote or prevent the mating at the start, and the postzygotic mechanisms affect the stages of reproduction after the forming of the zygote.
So, the first and the third example (the urchins and the grasshoppers) show the prezygotic mechanism, as the two individuals are not able to mate or form a zygote.
The second and the fourth example ( zonkey and the death of a zygote) show the working of the postzygotic mechanisms, as the zygote is formed, but it seems to be inviable, and the zonkeys are sterile, preventing the individual to reproduce.

What data will you collect each time you add each serum to a patient’s blood?
sattari [20]
The data you will collect is the blood phenotype.By adding serums that each contains a particular antibody such as anti-A, anti-B, or anti-D ...  to see if there's an agglutination with erythrocytes' antigen and the antibodies, proving the presence of the appropriate antigen in the blood.

This will help to confirm the blood grouping if this technique is done in parallel with the plasma test ( of Simonin-Michon).

Most cells that experience mutations or damage _________. Select one: a. become cancer b. undergo apoptosis c. become a malignan
ANTONII [103]
A. Become cancer because in the process of mitosis (cell replication) idlf the cell replication does not work properly and keep going on and on it will begin creating mutations to help it replicate causing cancer to happen.
Ex: let's say you have a paper cut. Your blood cells must replicate in order to close that gap in your body. They begin replication but if they get out of control and begin creating mutations it will turn into cancer.
