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.

How can bacteriophage dna be spread from cell to cell without causing cell death?

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

through lysogenic cycle

Explanation:

The bacteriophage attaches itself on the bacterial surface. The DNA strand to be replicated is injected into the bacteria by the bacteriophage. The DNA integrates into the bacterial chromosome and becomes a pro-phage.

The bacterial cell proceeds to cell division through budding. The progeny possess the bacteriophage. After complete replication, the virus DNA detaches from the host genome and enters the lytic cycle. The capsid heads assemble on the surface of bacterial cell to package the fully matured viral DNA . The phage produces lytic enzymes that weaken the cell wall of bacteria cell.

Time is scare is the economic concept this dilemma demonstrate.

<h3>Why Time is scare?</h3>

The time is scare because there is an over lap between the team sport or doing the music instruction. This demonstrates that there is not enough time to meet demand.

Two of the tasks require more time than is available. Both team sports and music courses cannot be played because of the lack of time.

Although there is a strong need for time, two things cannot happen at once. The need for time is great, but there is nothing one can do about it; she must choose between the two options presented.
