Answer:

38 chromosomes

Explanation:

  • A cat has a diploid chromosome number of 30 (2n=30).
  • A rabbit has a diploid chromosome number of 46 (2n=46).

<u>Meiosis generates gametes that contain half the number of chromosomes of somatic cells.</u> Therefore:

  • Cat's gametes will be haploid and have 15 chromosomes (n=15).
  • Rabbit's gametes will be haploid and have 23 chromosomes (n=23).

An hybrid between a cat and a rabbit would be formed from the union of a cat gamete (n=15) and a rabbit gamete (n=23) that creates a zygote that has 15+23=38 chromosomes. When the zygote divides mitotically, all its somatic cells will contain 38 chromosomes.

What is the key lesson learned from Easter Island?
il63 [147K]

The key lesson learned from what has happened on the Easter Island is that the humans should live in balance with the nature and to use the natural resources responsibly. The Easter Island was inhabited by people until relatively recently, and they lived on the island for some time, but there's nothing left from them apart from numerous large heads made out of stone. The people that lived on the island died, and that happened because of their irresponsible way of using the natural resources and destroying the environment. The people that lived on the Easter Island managed to use and destroy all natural resources that were enabling their survival there, putting themselves in a situation where they didn't had anything to eat, nor having material to build boats and move on another place. They were tuck there, isolated, started to kill and eat each other until the last one of them was left and died. This is a very nice example and lesson for the humans in the present that they should be very careful with the nature and the natural resources because there's always a line that after it is crossed there's no coming back.

From left to right, which is the sequence of the<br> complementary strand of DNA in this molecule?
ladessa [460]

Answer: Option A) A-C-T-T-G

Explanation:

The base sequence on a strand of DNA is usually paired to specific complimentary bases. These specific pairings are as follows:

Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T)

Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C). So when you find A replace with T, so also replace C with G and vice versa.

Thus, the complimentary sequence of the T-G-A-A-C DNA strand is A-C-T-T-G
