Sex cells will always contain half of the number of chromosomes needed for a being. So if a fishes sperm cell contains 12 chromosomes and the ovum also contains 12 chromosomes then when fused together they will have 24 chromosomes in total.
In order for the process of the fish to even be made the sperm and ovum must be fused together. Therefore the number of chromosomes that would be found in the cells forming the gills is 24 chromosomes.
C. The temperature remains the same.
A protein is a polymer of amino acids.
When amino acids are joined by dehydration synthesis (a process that removes
water to form a chemical bond), they form peptide bonds. <span>There are three main components of an
amino acid, the amino group, the side chain, and the carboxylic acid group. </span>
