Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes

Answer:

Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In the fertilization process two haploid cells sperm fuse with an egg which results in the formation of a diploid cell.

meiosis produces haploid cells rather than diploid cells because in Meiosis the chromosome number gets reduced.

In the Meiosis process the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells gets reduced to half than of the parent cell and this process results in the formation of four haploid daughter cells

Thus Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes is the correct answer.

Juan inflates a balloon and then releases its end to let the balloon go free as air comes out. The balloon then flies around the
irakobra [83]

The correct answer is option B. According to Newton’s third law of motion, the balloon is pushed forward as the air is forced out.

Newton's third law of motion states that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The same law will apply on the balloon. As the air is forced out of the balloon it will exert an opposite force on the balloon which will cause the balloon to be pushed forward. If the air would not have caused an opposite force on the balloon causing it to be pushed forward it would have remained static. But, reaction of the outgoing air pressure made the balloon to move forward.
