Answer:

44

Explanation:

A somatic cell is diploid - it has 46 chromosomes. Half of these are from the mother, so there are 23 maternal chromosomes

A sex cell (gamete) is haploid - it has 23 chromosomes. There are (usually) two sex chromosomes in a diploid genome, either XX or XY, so there is one 1 in a haploid cell, giving a total of 22 autosomes

Barr bodies are inactive X chromosomes in a female somatic cell. This occurs to control dosage compensation (otherwise all the genes on the X in females would be expressed twice as much as they are in males). In a healthy female, there is normally one Barr body

A person with Kleinfelter's syndrome has two X chromosomes and one Y (XXY). They are biologically male, but have two X chromosomes. Therefore, one of these becomes a Barr body, as in females.

23 + 22 - 1 = 44

Answer:

No Oxygen will be consumed, and there will also be no ATP production.

Explanation:

No Oxygen will be consumed, and there will also be no ATP production.

The blockage of  the binding of Oxygen with cytochrome C enzyme occurs, and this greatly decreases the cellular uptake of oxygen.

Therefore, in the presence of cyanide, ATP production is inhibited due to blocked oxygen utilization.

Excess salt in the body can damage cells and organs. Marine iguanas, which live on the beaches of the Galapagos Island, eat most
sasho [114]
Marine iguanas experience biggest problem as far as their diet is concerned. this is because 'they feed on sea plant that have high concentration of salts since plants living in this region are poor osmoregulators. in addition, when they are feeding, they may take in water which usually has high salt concentrations. to survive these harsh condition, marine iguana has salt gland located in the nostrils. these glands have several secretory tubules and each of the tubules has an epithelial lining with specialized cells that have the ability to transport salt from the body outside. to perform this function effectively, large amount of energy is required and as a result these cells have high numbers of mitochondria.

What does animals store energy as
Maru [420]

Answer:

Animals store some energy as a more stable complex of many glucose molecules called glycogen. Animals also store some energy as fat, which has more energy for its weight than starches, and therefore is easier to carry around. Energy is broken down from its stored forms into glucose to be transported through the body.
