<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.

Which of the following would slow down gas exchange between the blood and alveolar air? A decrease in nitrogen solubility An inc

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

An increase in membrane thickness

Explanation:

Gaseous exchange occurs in relation to Fick's Law which states:

'the rate of diffusion is proportional to both the surface area and concentration difference and is inversely proportional to the thickness of the membrane

Therefore, based on this law, an increase in the thickness of the membrane will result in a decreased diffusion rate which will in turn slow down the process of gaseous exchange

During DNA replication each stands of dna is used as a temple to produce a complementary stand of DNA this process is shown belo

castortr0y [4]

<h2><u>Full question:</u></h2>

During DNA replication, each strand of DNA is used as a template to produce

a complementary strand of DNA. This process is shown below. Which base

will attach to location 2?

A. Adenine B. Allimene C. Thymine D. Tyrosine

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

Base thymine will get attached the location 2.

Option C

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

DNA replication is the process by which the genetic material that is deoxyribonucleic acid is getting replicated into its daughter DNA by the process which involves a lot of enzymes and energy. This process involves the formation of complementary base pairing between the nitrogen bases present in the nucleotides of DNA.

As the DNA replication starts the enzymes helicase and gyrase comes in action which open up the double stranded DNA which then is acted by DNA dependent DNA polymerase which gets attached to the coding strand of the DNA and starts accumulating the nucleotides from the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm that are complementary to the nitrogen base that is present on the coding strand. This process is very fast and can go up to speed of 30 to 40 base per second. This process is fully based on the complementary base pairing nature of DNA which bring the nucleotide from the nucleoplasm that is complementary to the base present on the coding strand. And this nucleotide is the same that is present on the other strand of the DNA because the DNA double helix contains the the complementary bases that actually forms hydrogen bond between themselves.

Here in the location to we can see that adenine is present as the nitrogen base. The complementary base to adenine is thymine. So the complementary base that will be present there will be thymine itself

Blood from the lungs is carried back to the heart by the _____.

leonid [27]

<span>Pulmonary vein

Pulmonary circulation is the movement of blood starting from the heart, where deoxygenated, or carbon dioxide-filled, blood leaves from the right ventricle and through the pulmonary valve, then into the left and right pulmonary arteries and arrives at the lungs. During the process of respiration, the carbon dioxide is released and oxygen is added to the blood. </span>

Answer:

As one goes up the other does as well for the first 2 but they aren't proportional (it is not simple cause and effect as there is a lot of factors)

The last question is to decrease their emissions as rising temperature is being effected by rising CO2 levels and rising temperature can cause a feedback loop causing more rising temperature

How were the fossil symbols and mountain belts helpful in deciding where to move the continents

alex41 [277]

The fossil symbols and mountain belts were helpful because it showed where the land and water dinosaurs were able to live, especially with the non-swimmers in Africa and South America. There is proof of some mountains matching in Western Europe and Greenland.
