The question is incomplete as it lacks the options which are:

1. The number of chromosomes depends on the size of the scorpion.

2. There are half as many chromosomes in egg cells.

3. There are twice as many chromosomes in egg cells.

4. The number of chromosomes is the same in both.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-2

Explanation:

The species of Scorpions are a diploid organism with a chromosome number ranging from 16 to 24.  The diploid organism contains homologous chromosomes in pairs which if fuses with another diploid cell will increase the ploidy level to tetraploid and more.

So to maintain the ploidy level, the organism produces gametes undergoing meiosis which reduces the chromosome number to half that is diploid cell becomes a haploid cell.

So, the egg cell contains half of the chromosomes as compared to the somatic cells ad thus option-2 is the correct answer.

Describe the roles of light, carbon dioxide, and water in photosynthesis
MArishka [77]
The process of photosynthesis occurs when green plants use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into carbohydrates. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll, a photosynthetic pigment of the plant, while air containing carbon dioxide and oxygen enters the plant through the leaf stomata.
