Answer:

<em>The resulting zygote will have 78 chromosomes.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The sperm and eggs are the sex cells of animals. These cells contain half the number of chromosomes compared to the number of chromosomes present in the somatic cell of that particular organism.

When the sperm and the egg cell unite to form a zygote, the 39 chromosomes in the wolf's sperm and the 39 chromosomes in the female wolf's egg will add up to male 78 chromosomes in the zygote.

Which expression represents the distance between point (0, a) and point (a, 0) on a coordinate grid?

o-na [289]

Answer:

$\sqrt{2} a$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between point (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on a coordinate plane is given by expression $\sqrt{(x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2}$

In the problem given coordinate points are

(0, a) and (a, 0).

Thus, distance between these points are given by

$distance = \sqrt{(x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2}\\=>distance = \sqrt{(0-a)^2+(a-0)^2}\\=>distance = \sqrt{(a)^2+(a)^2}\\\\=>distance = \sqrt{2a^2}\\=>distance = \sqrt{2} a$
