Answer;

The correct answer is 26 chromosomes.

Explanation;

-The body cells or somatic cells always have diploid number of chromosomes which means they have two sets of chromosomes in the nucleus.

-These cells undergoes mitotic divisions which results in the production of daughter cells that are identical to the parent thus the diploid number of chromosome is retained, in this case 52 chromosomes.

-On the other hand, gamete cells such as the unfertilized ovum, have haploid number of chromosomes, since they are the results of meiotic division which produces daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent, in our case this will be 26 chromosomes.

Which of the following is true regarding cultivation and isolation of animal viruses? A. Mouse models are available for virtuall
lesya692 [45]

Answer: D.

Explanation:

Viruses can be cultivated within appropriate hosts, such as a living cell . For example, bacteria are grown in an acceptable growth medium to research bacteriophages; then bacteriophagi are added. Within the bacteria, the bacteriophages replicate and greatly increase their numbers.

Diploid cell lines (or strains) are subcultured approximately 100 times before death. A lot more useful in the laboratory and they can be kept in liquid nitrogen forever. The human embryonic fibroblasts are one example of this kind.

As diploid cell line, developed from human embryos have more accurate results and can be stored for longer period of time, they are widely used in cultivation and isolation of viruses that require human hosts.

Hence, the correct option is D.
