The answers would be 24 and fertilises.
Pollen is the male gamete of lily, which is a haploid cell, with only half the chromosomes of the normal diploid ones. Therefore, if the haploid gamete has 12 chromosomes, so the diploid would be 12+12 which makes 24.
The egg is also a gamete of lily, but it's a female gamete. It is also a haploid cell, with only 12 chromosomes which is given in the question. So, when the sperm fuses and fertilises the egg, the zygote would have 24 chromosomes which is formed by 2 haploid gametes.
Answer:
Yes both are different. In directional selection one of the extreme traits is favored, whereas in disruptive selection both the extreme traits are favored.
Explanation:
Directional: If selection acts to eliminate one extreme form and supports the other extreme then the peak shifts in the direction which is selected by the nature.
Disruptive: If the selection does not favor the mean character value, rather favors both the peripheral character values then this kind of selection is called disruptive selection.
Meiosis I is dedicated to forming two Haploid(half chromosome) cells bby separating each pair of chromosomes (one of each type in each cell) and the recombination, or shuffling of genes on each chromosome with its pair by crossing over, While Meiosis II is meant to split the individual chromatids in the haploid cells to create a total or 4 daughter cells
Hope this helps! :)
The integumentary system (skin) has been called a membrane and an organ but, it is generally considered a system because it has organs that work together as a system. It is sometimes considered an organ because it contains several types of tissues and a membrane and it covers the body.
