Answer:

1. 128

2. 16,384

Explanation:

Imagine there were two pairs of chromosomes:

A paired with B

C paired with D

A gamete could have the following combinations:

A + C

A + D

B + C

B + D

Therefore, with two pairs of chromosomes, there are 4 (2²) possibilities

With seven pairs of chromosomes, there are  (2⁷) possibilities. 2⁷  = 128

For a zygote produced by two barley parents, there are two gametes fused. So we must multiply the number of combinations for each gamete. Therefore, number of possible genetic combinations is 128 x 128 = 16,384

The heart is a vital organ, and its functioning is essential to life.
All your other organs may fail, and you will still be alive. Even if your brain stops working, and your heart is healthy, you will be alive in the vegetative state where you won't be conscious at all. However, once your heart stops working, you die, which means it is the most important organ in your body.
