<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Six centromeres are observed in a prophase cell from an insect, there are </em><u><em>20 pairs of chromosomes present</em></u><em>. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Centromeres is defined as the part of the DNA</em> which are held responsible for the directional changing of chromosomes.

And these chromosome gets divided into <em>2 daughter cells while undergoing the process of mitosis and meiosis. </em>

<em>Chromosome is basically defined as a thin structure</em> as of a threadlike which is made out of nuclei acid and protein which is <em>located at the nucleus of various living cells</em>

Answer:

6

Explanation:

In the cell that is in the process of dividing, each condensed chromosome appears as a pair of rods joined at a certain point, the centromere. These two chromosomal “halves”, called sister chromatids are identical and arise from the duplication of the original chromosomal filament, which occurs in the interphase, just before cell division begins.

In summary, we can say that a centromere is the structure that holds a pair of chromosomes together, so if six centromere are observed in a prophase cell, it means that there are six pairs of chromosomes in that cell.

Organisms that live in the _________ must be adapted to little or no rain and to extreme temperatures.
umka21 [38]

Answer: DESERT

Explanation:

Adaptation can be defined as the modification in the form, structure, function and behaviour of organisms in a habitat which enables them to live successfully and reproduce.

Desert is one of the types of the world biomes that is characterized with little or no rain and to extreme temperatures. Organisms, which includes plants and animals, must show some level of adaptation to able to survive the harsh environment.

The type of PLANTS which can survive in desert environment are called the XEROPHYTES. They show the following adaptations:

--> The roots are well developed: they grow down to great depths and branch extensively in order to absorb water

--> they possess swollen stems which contains water storage cells.

--> they have reduced leaves, for example in cacti in the form of spines, which helps to reduce water loss through transpiration.

The type of animal that survive in desert environment spend the hot dry seasons in a sleep-like torpid state called aestivation. This is so in order to avoid the heat. Their body size is usually small and less bulky: greater surface area in relation to body volume, thus enhancing heat loss from the body.

Organisms that live in the _________ must be adapted to little or no rain and to extreme temperatures.

How do fat blockers and starch blockers work?
KIM [24]
Starch blocker help prevent the body from absorbing starches so you don't absorb calories, and fat blockers are kind of the same thing, they don't let your body absorb fat, instead it excretes it as waste.
