Myrmecia pilosula was originally described as a single species, however, after closer examination, it was determined to consists

of several distinct, closely related, physically similar species. Females have chromosome numbers of 2, 18, 20, 32, 48, 60, 62, and 64. Assume that a cross is made between a female of species (A) with 48 chromosomes and a male species (B) with 10 chromosomes (males are haploid and transmit all their chromosomes to each sperm cell). How many chromosomes would be expected in the somatic cells of the hybrid female offspring?

Answer:

The correct answer is "34".

Explanation:

The ant Myrmecia pilosula is a special case of sexual reproduction, where the females produce gamete cells with half the chromosomes of the somatic cells and the males are haploids that transmit the whole number of chromosomes in their gametes. Therefore, the somatic cells of the hybrid female offspring that results from the cross of a female ant with 48 chromosomes and a male with 10 chromosomes would have 34 chromosomes. This result from half the number of chromosomes of the female (24) plus the total number of chromosomes of the male (10).

The  three situations in which ionic reactions go to completion is formation of a gas,  a precipitate and a slightly ionized product.

<h3>What are ionic reactions?</h3>

It indicates the flow of electrons and, therefore, the bonds broken and formed in the course of the reaction. It is theoretical, it can be corroborated by experiments, but sometimes there is no consensus on the mechanism by which a certain reaction occurs.

Chemical reactions are the result of the transformation that occurs in substances, where atoms rearrange themselves, modifying their initial state. Thus, chemical compounds undergo changes generating new molecules. In turn, the atoms of the elements remain unchanged.
