The egg cells have half as many chromosomes as the body cells.

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.

​(f) contact a local hospital and ask them the percentage of the population that is blood type o. why might the results​ differ?
Fudgin [204]
Contacting a local hospital and asking them the percentage of the population that has blood type O will generate different results. 

The factors that we have to consider why there is differing results are:
1) location of the hospital
2) nationality of their patients
3) number of their patients

I am assuming that the population that question is referring to is the number of patients in the local hospital. The bigger the population, the smaller the effect a unit has on the whole and vice versa. 

I read an article that states that 37% of the U.S. population has O+ blood type. These people are usually of Hispanic descent or some Asian descent. So, if a hospital is in a locality that has a majority of Hispanic or Asian patients, its percentage will be higher than a hospital that is located in a Caucasian-populated area. 

Aside from Type O+ (most common), blood types also include: O-, A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, and AB- (rarest blood type)

The mrna codon CUU could mutate to C___ and still code for leucine, which could be a neutral mutation. What is the blank?
Lelechka [254]
A codon is a sequence of three bases found on the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule which is translated to produce an amino acid. Each amino acid is coded by one or more specific codons. If the codon is changed through a mutation, the amino acid produced may be different. However, in this case, the other codons that produce Leucine are:

UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA and CUG

So the code CUU could mutate to CUC, CUA or CUG and leucine would still be produced.
