Answer:

a. 29, 29, 27, 27.

Explanation:

Separation of homologous chromosomes to the opposite poles during anaphase-I would have produced the haploid chromosome number of the daughter cells. This means that the parent cell with 56 chromosomes would produce four daughter cells each of which would have 56/2= 28 chromosomes. If one of the chromosome pairs did not segregate during anaphase-I, one daughter cells formed by the end of meiosis-I would have "n+1" chromosomes while the other would have "n-1" chromosomes. This chromosome number is maintained by meiosis-II.

Therefore, nondisjunction at anaphase-I in the parent cell with 56 chromosomes would produce a total of four daughter cells. The two daughter cells would have "n+1= 29" chromosomes and rest two would have "n-1=27" chromosomes.

How is hydro electricity produced step by step explanation ​
timama [110]

Answer:

ydropower, electricity produced from generators driven by turbines that convert the potential energy of falling or fast-flowing water into mechanical energy

Explanation:

In the generation of hydroelectric power, water is collected or stored at a higher elevation and led downward through large pipes or tunnels (penstocks) to a lower elevation; the difference in these two elevations is known as the head. At the end of its passage down the pipes, the falling water causes turbines to rotate. The turbines in turn drive generators, which convert the turbines’ mechanical energy into electricity. Transformers are then used to convert the alternating voltage suitable for the generators to a higher voltage suitable for long-distance transmission. The structure that houses the turbines and generators, and into which the pipes or penstocks feed, is called the powerhouse.

What errors exist in the table below?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

A. spiral galaxies are not pinwheel-shaped

Explanation:

There are three types of galaxies that include spiral galaxy, elliptical galaxy and irregular galaxy.

Elliptical galaxies are round shaped as well as elongated. Elliptical galaxies have both old and new stars but mostly it contains old stars.

Spiral galaxies are pinwheel-shaped due to the regular spinning motion of dust, stars and gas around the galactic center, at speeds of hundreds of kilometers per second which allows the matter to take a  pinwheel-shape. Spiral galaxies are made up of lot of gas and dust and forms many new stars which allows the spiral galaxy to shine bright.

Irregular galaxies do not have any definite shape because of the gravitational influence of close galaxies. They also have many new stars.

Hence, the error is foudn in first sentence, where it says that spiral galaxies are not pinwheel shaped. so teh correct option is A.
