Answer:

Monocytes

Explanation:

Monocytes are the agranular white blood cells. These are the large cells with 10-24 micrometer diameter and are characteristic by the presence of kidney-shaped, round or lobed nuclei. The cytoplasm is blue-gray due to the presence of azurophilic granules. Cytoplasm gives a foamy appearance.

The azurophilic granules are very minute in size and are actually the lysosomes. Monocytes migrate from the blood into the tissues and differentiate into macrophages. Since the observed purple stained cells were large in size than RBCs (7-8 micrometer in diameter), have a kidney shaped nucleus, they are monocytes.

Domestic cats transfer their genetic information to their offspring by meiosis. If a kitten has 38 chromosomes, how many chromos
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Since domestic cats reproduce through meiosis, each parent gives off half of their genetic code (or DNA) to their offspring. The answer would be B, 19 chromosomes because that is half of 38. That is why when a parent gives birth to their child, they don't look exactly the same or act exactly the same as either of their parents. They are a mix of both, which is another explanation for why no two people look exactly alike.

You may wonder, a domestic cat births more than one offspring at a time. If multiple offspring share the same parents, why don't they look the same? The reason for that is because the half DNA that the parent is giving off is a different half than they gave to another offspring, if that makes any sense.

Hope that helped you! :)
