A horse has 64 chromosomes and a donkey has 62. Using your knowledge of meiosis, explain why a cross between a horse and a donke

y produces a mule, which usually is sterile.

Ok, so when a horse (with 64 chromosomes) is crossed with a donkey(that has 62 chromosomes), each parent give its child half of its chromosomes. [64/2=32] [62/2=31]. So the mule gets 31 pairs of chromosomes plus 32 pairs of chromosomes. That equals 63 total chromosomes. In order to be a parent, it must give <span>half of its chromosomes to its child. [63/2=31.5] You can't have half a chromosome, so the mule is a sterile organism. Let me know if you have questions.</span>

What conclusions can we draw from the lab about photosynthesis and cellular
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide and oxygen are recycled through photosynthesis and cellular

respiration forever unless something interrupts.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are two distinct and opposite metabolical processes undergone by living cells. They are opposite processes because one utilizes the products of the other as reactants.

Photosynthesis is a unique process to autotrophic organisms like plants. It is the process whereby plants synthesize their food in form of organic molecules (glucose) by combining Carbondioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) in the presence of sunlight.

The overall equation of photosynthesis is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6+ 6O2

On the other hand, cellular respiration is the process whereby living cells obtain energy (ATP) by breaking down food molecules (glucose) using oxygen to produce carbondioxide (CO2) and water as products. The overall equation is:

C6H12O6 + 602 -----> 6CO2 + 6H2O

Based on the lab experiments, it can be concluded that Carbon dioxide and oxygen are recycled through photosynthesis and cellular

respiration because photosynthesis recycles/reuses the products of cellular respiration, which are C02 and H2O while cellular respiration recycles/reuses the products of photosynthesis, which are C6H12O6 and O2. This process occurs naturally in the environment and will continue to do so unless something interupts.

Option B is incorrect because light energy from the sun powers photosynthesis while option C is incorrect because photosynthesis transforms light energy to chemical energy while cellular respiration transforms chemical energy to thermal energy.

Consider a cell in which Cl- distributes passively across the membrane according to the membrane potential. The resting membrane
UNO [17]

Answer:

1000 mM

Explanation:

Using V = -60 mV㏒₁₀[K/K'] where V = membrane potential = -60 mV, K = intracellular concentration = unknown and K' = extracellular concentration = 100 mM

So, V = -60 mV㏒₁₀[K/K']

-60  mV = -60 mV㏒₁₀[K/K']

dividing both sides by -60mV, we have

-60  mV/-60 mV = ㏒₁₀[K/K']

㏒₁₀[K/K'] = 1

taking antilogarithm of both sides, we have

[K/K']  = 10¹

multiplying both sides by K', we have

K = 10K'

K = 10 × 100 mM

K = 1000 mM

So, the intracellular Cl- concentration is 1000 mM
