The tributaries carry small amounts of salt into the lake

<u>Explanation</u>:

The Greatest salt lake is one of the most saline inland water body in the world.The water carried to this lake by the tributaries is very less as compared to the amount  of the salt present in the lake. Rest part of the salt remains in the lake as such.

When the water from the lake gets evaporated, it leaves behind the salt. When time passes by, or years of inflow and evaporation salts they gets deposited layer over layer. The amount of salt added leads to formation of new minerals on the sea floor.

Nucleus – the control center of each cell. It regulates, monitors and organizes the whole cell<span>

Since the pictures isn't given I can assume that it can be the microtubule, the microtubule is responsible for maintaing the shape and structure of the overall cell. It maintains homeostasis by permanently aiding the framework of the overall cell.
If it is the nucleus, the control center of a cell. It does a lot of functions in the cell, it helps maintain homeostasis by sending commands that the organelles do, supply energy, excrete or digest waste, regulate the movement of objects and cellular respiration, even cell division. It sustains the cell to be functional and proactive at the same time reactive to situations that is likely to occur.

How many chromosomes would each of these sex cells have before they come together and create a cub?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Haploid number of chromosomes.

Explanation:

Before fusion of sex cells i. e. sperm cells and egg cells, there are half number of chromosome present in each sec cell because in the sex cells meiosis occurs. Meiosis is a type of cell division in which a single parent cell divides into four daughter cells having haploid chromosome i. e. half number of chromosomes in each daughter cell. So when these sex cells fuse together, they form a diploid organism.
