Answer:

Somatic cells are the ones obtained by mitosis. They constitute the body tissues and have a variety of different functions. They are <em>diploid</em>, which means they have two copies of each chromosome (2n), one obtained from the father and one from the mother.

Gametes are obtained by meiosis. A diploid cell divides to form four <em>haploid </em>gametes, they have a single copy of each chromosome (n), obtained from the parent cell.

Zygotes are obtained by the fusion of two gametes, one from the father and one from the mother, they are <em>diploid </em>again having two copies of each chromosome.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The correct option is C. A virus contains RNA or DNA in a protein coat.

Explanation:

Viruses can be described as tiny particles which are able to incorporate their genetic material into a host. Many viruses can be destructive to the host cells.

The structure of a virus includes DNA or RNA which is enclosed in a structure known as an envelope or capsid. The envelope or capsid is made up of proteins. Some viruses also have a tail.

The capsid of a virus usually remains outside the host cell and it injects its viral genome into the host cell. The DNA or RNA o the virus then incorporates in the host cell.
