<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of chromosomes is <u>50</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The fusion of male gamete and female gamete leads to the formation zygote. The chromosome number of both the male gamete and female gamete remains same. The male type of gamete is sperm whereas the female type of gamete is ovum. The gametes are haploid in condition.  

The term haploid refers to the quantity of chromosomes in egg or sperm cells, which contain equal number of chromosome. Thus, from the given data, it can be inferred that if egg has 50 chromosome, then the sperm will also have same 50 chromosome.

Outer hair cells near the center of the basilar membrane will
Likurg_2 [28]

The answer is outer hair cells can be seen near the center of the basilar membrane where the hightest vibration takes place.  The basilar membrane can be seen under the inner hair cells, the movement of stereocilia and the resulting modulation of their ionic currents is likely to be greater for outer hair cells than for inner hair cells.

Decaying uranium atoms in Earth’s crust result in _____.
snow_tiger [21]
Decaying uranium atoms in the earth's crust result in Radon gas. Radon gas cannot be synthetically or commercially produced.  It is produced as the result of the natural breakdown of uranium i.e. decaying uranium atoms. Radon gas is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. People are exposed to Radon gas via the inhalation and ingestion of the gas. Because it is found in the ground, water or building materials, Radon gas can enter work buildings as well as private dwellings.

A small island is home to a unique population of land snails. This population was founded by 10 individuals that floated to the
vekshin1

Answer:

  • The Island population likely has fewer alleles-that is versions of genes-than the mainland population.

       A- Agree <u>B- Disagree</u>

  • Genetic drift is more pronounced in the island population than in the mainland population in these first few generations

       A- Agree <u>B- Disagree</u>

  • Some harmful traits may have become more common in the island population than in the mainland population

       <u>A- Agree</u>- B- Disagree

  • Biologist observed genetic drift but not evolution

       <u>A- Agree</u> B- Disagree

Explanation:

If there was genetic drift, then allele frequency either increased or decreased by chance, irrespective of natural selection that is irrespective to weather those alleles helped individuals survive in the island environment. In molecular genetic data, there are statistical signature in the  population variation that indicate weather selection or other processes occurred.
