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.

Fungi rapidly colonize leaves that fall into freshwater streams. They break down the cellulose in the leaves and absorb the gluc
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Fungi indirectly help the fishes by providing digested organic nutrients to their prey insects.

Explanation:

According to the given information, fishes are predators of insects. These insects feed on dead leaves. The insects are not able to digest the cellulose of dead leaves. Fungi breakdown the dead and decaying leaves and digest the complex molecules such as cellulose into simpler organic nutrients which in turn are consumed by insects.

If fungi do not decompose the dead leaves, insects would not be able to derive the organic nutrients from them. A shortage of food supply to insects would starve them. Unavailability of prey insects would starve fishes. Thereby, fungi indirectly benefit the fishes to obtain their nutrition from the insect.

Determine how many groups you will have.  

Prepare ping-pong balls.  

Collect egg cartons.  

Prepare the egg cartons.  

Prepare “energy tokens.”  

 Post signs in the classroom.  

 Prepare filled H20 and C02 “molecules.”

Explanation:

Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. In the first stage, light-dependent reactions or light reactions capture the energy of light and use it to make the energy-storage molecules ATP and NADPH. During the second stage, the light-independent reactions use these products to capture and reduce carbon dioxide.

Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?
Serga [27]

Answer:

A.) The process of photosynthesis is energy-storing because the process converts light energy into chemical energy, which is  stored in the bonds of glucose.

Explanation:

Statement A. best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy because this is exactly what the plant does during the process. Plants and some types of bacteria absorb light from the Sun and use it with water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to create chemical energy. This energy is then stored in glucose and other molecules. Animals that consume plants will receive this energy.

Hope this helps you :)
