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.

If you are really stressed out about an upcoming math test on Tuesday what type of stress is this? A: avoidance B:acute C:chroni
Kobotan [32]

Some students feel distressed only in test situations. They might be said to suffer from Acute Stress.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Stress is your body's reaction to specific circumstances. It's abstract, so something that is distressing for you may not be unpleasant for another person. There is a wide range of sorts of stress and not every one of them is terrible. Stress can enable you to act rapidly in a crisis or help you comply with a time constraint.

Acute stress is the most widely recognized sort of pressure. It's your body's prompt response to another test, occasion, or request, and it triggers your battle or flight reaction.

In what layer of the epiphyseal plate is the process of mitosis occurring?
lorasvet [3.4K]

The epiphyseal plate is the area of elongation in a long bone. It includes a layer of hyaline cartilage where ossification can continue to occur in immature bones. We can divide the epiphyseal plate into a diaphyseal side (closer to the diaphysis) and an epiphyseal side (closer to the epiphysis).

I don't really understand just started high school
Ksenya-84 [330]
A forest fire would burn large trees, fertilizing the soil and makes room for smaller plants to grow, which provides more food for herbivores. The lack of trees also makes it easier for carnivores to hunt prey. Good luck in high school!

Quiz which condition could lead to drawdown below the level of existing wells?
irinina [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

Continuous pumping of water causes drawdown. The water table lowers rapidly.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Water table is the level below which the ground is saturated with water.
  • During rainfall the runoff water percolates into the ground through the gap in the soil particles and the water table is recharged.
  • But when gallons of water are pumped continuously it leads to a drastic reduction in the water table because, water from the surrounding aquifers move towards the place where the vacuum is created by pumping.
  • To prevent this, the groundwater should be recharged and over drawing should be avoided.

Which kind of force do you exert on an object when you pull it toward you?
Neporo4naja [7]
The answer is A. Applied forces are the unbalanced forces a person applies to another object to change its velocity or direction or to make it accelerate. When we pull an object towards us, we are increasing it’s velocity, so it’s an applied force.
