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 energy pyramid describe the biomass pyramid
kogti [31]
The energy pyramid describes decomposers compared to energy lost as heat. Primary producers start at 100% and it decreases to 10% at primary consumers, 1% at secondary, .1% at third level, and .01% at apex.
The biomass pyramid describes the total mass of an organism and as a biomass moves up, the overall mass is losing volume. This means it decreases as it moves from the bottom to the top.
