Answer:

a) 3 cromosomes b)3

Explanation:

The haploid number of a cromosome is the total number ofcromosomes withoutits homologue partner. In this case, if the text indicates that the haploid number of cromosomes is 6, then that is the total number of cromosomes in the result cell.

The ovum contains just half of the information that will be given in order to form the new organisms, in this context, if the result organism has  cromosomes, the ovum will only contain 3.

In meiosis II, after both cigotes get together and unite all the 6 cromosomes, it separates again. This means that the second polar body will remain will only 3 cromosomes again.

Which structures do plant cells have for making food the animal cells do not
daser333 [38]

Because animals get sugar from food they eat, they do not need chloroplasts, just mitochondria. Both plants and animal cells have vacuoles. A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. PRETTY COOL!
