Answer:

32 possible combination of chromosome

Explanation:

According to the law of independent assortment as proposed by Mendel, alleles of a gene will separate into gamete independently of the alleles of another gene. Since this organism contains 10 chromosomes in its somatic cell, it will undergo meiosis to produce half number of chromosomes in its gametes i.e. 5 chromosomes.

If we know the haploid number of chromosomes of an organism i.e. n, we can calculate the possible combination of chromosomes that will be present in its gametes as a result of independent assortment during meiosis using the formula:

2^n, where n= haploid no. of chromosome

If n is 5 chromosome in this case, the possible combination of chromosome in its gametes will be 2^5 = 32. Hence, as a result of independent assortment, an organism with 10 chromosome in its somatic cell will produce 32 possible combinations of chromosome in its gametes.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The wavelength of <u>light</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The electromagnetic spectrum shows the parts of light orchestrated by their wavelengths. The range for the most part comprises of both visible as well as invisible light. Together, they are called electromagnetic radiation. They are electromagnetic in light of the fact that they comprise of both an electric field and an magnetic field, and these fields travel in wave and travel at the speed of light: 3.00 × \bold{10^8} m/s.  

When the light gets scattered it gives out color in the form of VIBGYOR which is elaborately called as Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and red. These colors are arranged in the spectrum based upon the wavelength.

Naily [24]
The observation that indicates that it is a living thing that is multicellular because it has membrane-bound organelles. The correct answer is option B. Multicellular organisms' cells are macroscopic which are naked to the visible eye. These organisms are eukaryotic so this means that their cells contain membrane-bound structures.

Answer:

Bacteria that  metabolize NO2- to give rise to NH4+ belongs to the family of denitrifying bacteria and nitrate ammonification bacteria such as pseudomonas.

Explanation:

Denitrifying bacteria uses NO2- as electron aceeptor thus converting the nitrite ion (NO2-) to ammonium ion(NH4+).

              a) The above reaction is a reduction reaction because NO2- or nitrite ion accept electron to generated its reduced form known as ammonium(NH4+).

             b)  NO2- acting as electron acceptor in this reaction.
