Answer:

30

Explanation:

The seed of an angiosperm is formed as a result of fertilization (fusion of sperm in pollens and the ova from ovary). According to the question, the cells of the seed which will grow into the plant contains 20 chromosomes. Seeds of angiosperms contain a tissue called ENDOSPERM that forms as a result of the unique DOUBLE FERTILIZATION in angiosperms. It occurs when one haploid sperm cell fuses with two haploid polar nuclei to form a triploid endospermic structure that serves as food for the growing embryo in the seed.

Now based on the above explanation, the diploid plant cell with 20 chromosomes will have 10 chromosomes (half as much) in its gametes as a result of meiosis. This 10 chromosomes in each gamete (sperm and ovum) fuses to form a diploid zygote with 20 chromosomes, while one haploid sperm cell (10 chromosomes) also fuses with two haploid polar nuclei (10 chromosomes each) to form a triploid endosperm with 30 chromosomes i.e. 10+10+10.

Which of the following statements is (are) correct regarding the parietoacanthial projection (Waters' method) of the skull?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The correct answer is 1: In Waters´ method, the head is rested on the extended chin.

Explanation:

The parietoacanthial projection (Waters' method) is a widely used radiography method that demonstrates if there are any facial bone fractures, inflammation, or foreign body in the patient skull.  

The patient must be in an erect position or prone. They must rest their head on the tip of the <u>extended chin</u> against the table surface. The neck must be hyperextended so that the orbitomeatal line (OML) forms a 37-degrees angle with the plane of the image receptor (IR). This is<u> not perpendicular to IR</u>, as <u>perpendicular means</u> that a <u>90-degree angle</u> must be formed. The mentomeatal line (MML) must be perpendicular to the image receptor plane. Finally, the midsagittal plane must be perpendicular to the plane of the image receptor.
