Answer:

The correct answer is both.

Explanation:

  • Each chromosome is made up of a pair of sister chromatids which remain attached to each other at the centromere.
  • During DNA replication the DNA duplicates, which means that if initially in the parent cell 'n' chromosomes were present then, after duplication, the number of chromosomes in the cell will be '2n'.
  • As mentioned above, each chromosome has a pair of sister chromatids, that is, two chromatids per chromosome. So, 'n' chromosomes will have '2n' chromatids. Hence, '2n' chromosomes will have '4n' chromatids.
  • In a parent cell,
  1. Before duplication, number of chromosome = n, number of chromatid = 2n.
  2. After duplication, number of chromosome = 2n, number of chromatid = 4n.
  • The cell cycle proceeds as, G0, G1, S, G2, M.
  • G0 represents the interphase. It occurs before replication or duplication of the chromosomes, which occurs in the S phase.
  • So, in G0 phase, the chromosome number is 'n' and chromatid number is '2n'.

Chromosomes are a DNA molecule, that cannot be seen underneath a microscope. However, the DNA in chromosomes become pushed together during cell division, which then allows scientists to see its material under a microscope.

Before exploring energy balance and its effect on weight, you must first be able to use the vocabulary effectively.
valkas [14]

Answer:

1. When the number of calories a person consumes is equal to the number of calories he or she burns in a day, that person's body is in Energy Balance.

2. Someone who is in Positive Energy Balance eats more calories in a day than he or she bums.

3. Negative Energy Balance occurs when the number of calories a person bums in a day is greater than the amount he or she consumes.

4. Weight management involves applying strategies that allow someone to keep his or her body weight within a healthy.

5. The Basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy uses in order to perform its basic physiological functions.

6. The Thermic effect of food refers to the number of calories burned in order to digest absorb, metabolze, and store food.

7. The Lean body mass refers to his or her total body - fat mass.

Explanation:

This group of statements are related to body weight, the balance between the energy we consume through food and all the energy we burn through excercise and different activities, such as only mantaining our body temperature and normal processes.

What is the purpose of plants having mitochondria if they have chloroplasts?
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Plant cells need both chloroplasts and mitochondria because they perform both photosynthesis and cell respiration.

Explanation:

Chloroplast converts solar energy into chemical energy during photosynthesis, while mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, produces ATP- the energy currency of the cell during respiration.
