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.

Easy question. Will give brainliest
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The commensal relationship between the sharks and remoras can be described as although remoras consume parasites, sharks with remoras show no better health or growth than sharks without remoras.

Explanation:

A commensal relationship refers to a relationship where two or more organisms in a habitat neither benefit or harm each other.

  • The second option infers that the remoras harm the sharks. This is a parasitic relationship.
  • The third option infers that the sharks are harmed by the remoras because the sharks depend on something that the remoras are limiting. This is also a parasitic relationship.
  • The fourth option infers a commensal relationship, but falsely describes it. The relationship described by this option is a parasitic relationship (one benefits, the other does not).

Therefore, the answer is the first option: Although remoras consume parasites, sharks with remoras show no better health or growth than sharks without remoras.
