Answer:

3. haploid; diploid

Explanation:

Sperm is male gamete or often called male reproductive cell. During the process of spermatogenesis, reductional division (meiosis) occurs in the spermatocytes and spermatids are formed which further mature to sperms. Thus as a result of meiosis, their chromosome number is reduced to half and thus they become haploid cells. During oogensis, eggs are also formed as a result of meiosis which reduces the chromosome number and so eggs are also haploid.

When during fertilization, these two haploid nucleus of these cells fuse together, they form a diploid zygote.

Why would it be hard to find the CO2 level if the light intensity were very low? HELP!!!!
drek231 [11]
If CO2 was in very small amounts then it would be the limiting factor of photosynthesis, this means the process will take place at a much slower rate because it is lacking one of the raw materials it needs for the process to occur. To find the optimum light intensity you really need all other factors to be at optimum levels or in abundance.

The false spider mite, Brevipalpus phoenicis, has only two chromosomes. Which of the following pieces of evidence would allow yo
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - a. If these two mite chromosomes have different genes at different loci.

Explanation:

If it is 2n= 2, it means that it is diploid and has two sets of chromosomes in which one set comes from mother and the other from father which means parent's genes contribute to diploid equally. Both sets of chromosomes form homologous chromosome pair. Each homolog of the pair has the same gene at the same loci in diploid and if it has not the same homologous gene at the same loci these are haploid.

3. What differences would you expect to see in a population made up of individuals whose chromosomes experience crossing-over fr
kramer

Answer:

I would expect to see a greater variety of traits observed. Simplistically, I would expect to see people with blue eyes and brown hair, blonde hair or red hair. Whereas in a population where chromosomes do not cross over, I would expect to see traits that are more frequently associated with each other. For example, I would expect to see a greater proportion of blue eyed people to be blonde because the gene for hair colour is more frequently associated with the gene for eye colour.
