Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

A). the body cell has 2n; the sex cell has 1n.

B). the body cell has 26; the sex cell has two.

C). the body cell has 1n; the sex cell has 2n.

D). the body cell has 24; the sex cell has 26

The answer is A

Explanation:

According to the question, the snapping turtle possesses 52 chromosomes in its cell. This means that the chromosomal number of its body cell is 52. However, the turtle, which reproduces sexually will produce gametes or sex cells via meiosis. Meiosis is the kind of cell division that results in daughter cells (gametes) that have a reduced number of chromosomes (by half).

Based on this, the diploid cells (2n) of the turtle with chromosome number 52 will undergo meiotic division to produce haploid gametes or sex cells (n) with chromosome number 26.

N.B: Diploid (2n) means two complete sets of chromosomes while haploid (1n) means one complete set of chromosome.

The body cell of the turtle contains two set of chromosomes received from each parent, hence, making it Diploid (2n). However, meiosis will reduce the chromosome number to one set in each gamete i.e. haploid (n).

Which force primarily acts on a natural or artificial satellite to keep it in orbit around a planet
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Gravity

Explanation:

When its altitude is matched by the pull of the Earth's gravity, a satellite circles Earth. The satellite will fly off into orbit in a straight line or crash down to Earth without this equilibrium.

By juggling two things, a satellite retains its orbit: its velocity (the speed it takes to travel along a straight line) and the gravitational force on it that the Planet provides. To resist the greater gravitational force, a spacecraft orbiting closer to the Earth needs more velocity.
