Answer:

D. 4

Explanation:

The mentioned plant species is diploid and have 48 chromosomes. A diploid organism has two complete sets of chromosomes. This means that the diploid plant species have two complete sets of chromosomes. Mutation results in the formation of a diploid gamete having a total of 48 chromosomes (two complete sets of chromosomes). Self-fertilization of such mutated diploid gamete would produce a zygote with 48 (2 sets of chromosomes) + 48 (2 sets of chromosomes) = 96 chromosomes. Therefore, the resultant zygote would have a total of four sets of chromosomes.

In the proto-solar system nebula, gravity pulled matter together to form larger bodies. As they collided, what happened to these
Karolina [17]

Answer:

There was a release of immense heat within the bodies as they collided together as gravitational potential energy was converted into kinetic energy of the individual gas particles and then collisions between these particles converted this energy into heat.

Therefore, a massive amount of heat was released.
