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

Make a decision about the molecule NaHCO3 classification organic or inorganic
motikmotik

<u>Answer:</u>

NaHCO_{3} is an inorganic compound.

<u>Solution:</u>

  1. Firstly, all the known definitions of organic compounds excludes Carbonic acid and it's salt from organic compounds except if 'C' is present in the cation.  
  2. Secondly, Sodium is a metal which organic compounds cannot posses as a compound.  
  3. Lastly, there is absence of C-H bond which is present in all the organic compounds.

Hence, we can conclude that NaHCO_{3}is an inorganic compound though there is presence of Carbon atom in it.
