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.

Which of the following is/are true?
dem82 [27]

Answer: option B) Sympatric speciation is best described as a random event that disrupts the allele frequencies in a population

Explanation:

Sympatric speciation is an event/situation whereby organisms of the same species:

- live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e do not live in geographical isolation)

- DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory to yield new species or offsprings.

This sexual selection then results in generations of offsprings that are genetically different from the rest of the same species due to uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles among the population of same species.

Thus, only option B is true.

A is a DNA sequence where RNA polymerase binds and begins the process of transcription. A is a DNA sequence that binds regulator
WARRIOR [948]

<u>Answer:</u>

A is a DNA sequence that binds regulatory proteins that interact with promoter-bound proteins to activate transcription.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Background Knowledge:

DNA contains genes which is a particular segment of DNA. A gene usually has regulatory regions and a structural region.

Promoter: The regulatory region located to the 5 prime end of coding strand of the gene which is called as promoter that controls the binding RNA Polymerase during transcription.

The Terminator is the other regulatory region, located to the 3 prime end of coding strand of the gene. The terminator region causes RNA polymerase to stop transcription.

Structural region is the region present between the promoter and terminator.

Answer of the question is:

A is a DNA sequence that binds regulatory proteins that interact with promoter-bound proteins to activate transcription.
