"You discover a new species of snail, Biologica terificia, and find that its haploid number is 4 (n = 4). The somatic cells of B
Georgia [21]

Answer:

8 chromosomes

Explanation:

Diploid state is when an organism have two set of chromosomes (2n) i.e. combination of two haploid (n) gametes containing one set of chromosome each. Sexually reproducing organisms whose somatic or body cells are diploid (2n) undergo meiosis to produce gametes or sex cells with haploid number (n).

Therefore, in the newly discovered Biologica terificia species of snail, if the haploid state (n) of their gametes is 4, then their diploid (2n) somatic cells must be 4 × 2 = 8.

The question specifies the chromosomal number at the G1 phase of Interphase. At this stage, the cell is preparing to undergo division by increasing in size and duplicating its organnelles but not yet its genetic material which is not until the next phase called S-phase. Hence, the chromosome number of somatic cells remain 8 at the G1 phase.

Radda [10]

Answer:

Considering that homeostasis is restored in the patient, his blood pH range would return to normal levels (7.35-7.45), and his hydrogen ion concentration in the blood would normalize. The effect of normalizing the body by getting rid of excess hydrogen ions is achieved by concentrating these ions into the urine for expulsion, therefore increasing the pH levels of urine.

Explanation:

Acidosis is the condition wherein excessive acid build-up within the body causes the blood pH to become lower than normal (normal pH range 7.35-7.45). This may be due to an excessive loss of bicarbonate in the blood, also known as metabolic acidosis, or due to an impairment in the elimination of carbon dioxide in the blood from poor lung function, also known as respiratory acidosis. The body's natural response to acidosis is to increase the breathing rate to eliminate carbon dioxide in the blood, restoring the natural pH of the body.

In people with diabetes mellitus type I, the lack of insulin causes cells to breakdown fat aside from glucose as an energy source. This process produces ketones as a metabolic by-product for energy but also causes the body to be acidic. This is known as diabetic ketoacidosis.

According to the endosymbiotic theory, which cellular process was involved in the evolution of mitochondria and chloroplasts?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

This process would be the one truly responsible for the "evolution" of mitochondria and chloroplasts as we know them from their prokaryotic ancestors. The cell process that would have initiated endosymbiosis is endocytosis; the process of taking things inside the cell
