A family takes its summer vacation at a beach resort. Six-year-old Timmy spends the entire morning in a swimming pool. When his

mother finally gets him out and dries him off, she remarks that his fingers and toes are "wrinkled up just like a prune." Prunes start their lives as plums. They get their characteristic wrinkles by dehydration. Sitting for hours in water is anything except dehydration. How can you solve this mystery? Use the Internet to investigate the wrinkling of a prune and the wrinkling of the skin when it is immersed in water. Be sure to relate your discussion of this topic to the process of osmosis.

Water diffuses into the skin via sweat ducts which alters the electrolyte balance. electrolytes can be salts like sodium and potassium. This alters the stability of neurons causing blood vessels to constrict therefore decreasing the amount of fluid in the fingers which would normally give the skin tension. The decrease causes wrinkles.

Quaking aspen trees can send out underground stems for asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction is not as common, but when it d
Doss [256]

Answer:

38

Explanation:

  • Sexual reproduction happens when there is the involvement of two parents to give rise to the offsprings.
  • For the production of offsprings, each of the parents produces a haploid gamete and it is by the fusion of these two haploid gametes that a diploid organism is produced.
  • In the given situation, there are 19 chromosomes present in the haploid gametes this means that a diploid individual will have 2X19 = 38 chromosomes.
  • Now the underground stem cells are not gametes but somatic cells and the somatic cells are diploid and hence, they will have 38 chromosomes.
