Answer:

The correct answer would be A 23.

It is because human egg is a female gamete which is formed by meiotic division.

A meiotic division is reduction division which reduces the number of chromosomes to half in daughter cells or gametes.

Thus, if a skin cell or somatic cell contains 46 chromosomes then the egg or sperm (gametes) would contain only 23 chromosomes.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Pancreatic juice, NaHCO₃.

Explanation:

The buffers are the chemical solution which neutralizes the acidic effect and the human body also produces the biological buffers which help maintain the pH.

The pancreatic juice secreted by the pancreas gets drained into the duodenum of the small intestine and neutralizes the effect of the acidic content in the stomach bolus.  The pancreatic juice contains the sodium bicarbonate which neutralises the effect of the HCl.

Thus, Pancreatic juice, NaHCO₃ is the correct answer.
