Answer:

Basically this depends on the type of cell division the cell undergoes.

if the cell undergoes reduction division of meiosis(n) the  chromosome number will be reduced to 20 so the centromere will be 20, However if the cell undergoes multiplication division of mitosis,(2n) the centromere will be 40, since the chromosomes number will increases and sister chromatids holding the chromosomes are held at centro mere.

BigorU [14]
The cautions that can be given to the friend include the following:
Eating foods from different sources is very advantageous because it ensures that one gets all the necessary food nutrients that are needed for proper growth and development. Getting the necessary food nutrients on the other hand will boost one's immunity and enable one to develop resistance to diseases. Restricting one's food to a limited type of food is very bad and can have fatal consequences.

1. Which of the following are factors that both unicellular and multicellular organisms actively balance in order to achieve hom
MrMuchimi
The correct options are as follows:
1. C
Homeostasis is the process by which living organisms maintains constant internal environment. Maintaining homeostasis is very important because the survival of the living organism depend on it. In order to maintain homeostasis, the amount of wastes, nutrients and water that is in an organism must be controlled and maintained at optimum level.
2. A.
An organism that can not maintain an homeostasis will die. This is because, lack of homeostasis will disrupt the biochemical reactions which sustains the life activities of the organism and once the biochemical reactions that produce life energy can no longer take place the organism will die.
3. A.
For both unicellular and multi cellular organisms, when they are exposed to water containing no salt, much of the water will move into their cells. This happened because, the level of salt in the interior of the living cells is higher and so the water will move from the medium which has no salt to the inside to the cell where there is salt. This process is known as osmosis. In osmosis water move through a semi permeable membrane from the region of low salt concentration level to the region of higher salt level concentration.
4. D.
Cells in living organisms are able to maintain homeostasis by specializing in specific functions and by working together in cooperatively. Each cell has its own functions which it performs; in the process of its duty, it communicates with other cells which also help it in order to achieve common goals, which is maintenance of homeostasis within the cell.
