Answer:

40 chromosomes, 20 chromosomes, 2 chromatids, haploid

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. The fish is a diploid with 40 chromosomes (80 chromatids), after the separation of sister chromatids during the anaphase of mitosis, each sister chromatid becomes a chromosome i.e 40 chromatids (chromosome) each moves to the opposite poles and after the cell divides (cytokinesis), each daughter cell will have 40chromosomes each.

Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with each having half of the parental number of chromosomes. It involves two divisions; Meiosis I and Meiosis II

In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes lie side by side to form a structure called tetrad or bivalent consisting of 4 chromatids. During anaphase I, 20 chromosomes are pulled apart to each pole with each chromosome containing 2 chromatids. After cytokinesis in meiosis I, each of the two cells will have 20 chromosomes (40 chromatids) i.e 1 chromosome = 2 chromatids

At the end of meiosis II, which is similar to mitosis, chromatids are pulled apart and each becomes a chromosome, meaning 20 chromatids will be separated to each pole and become 20 chromosomes in each cell after cytokinesis. Since the parental organism was a diploid with 40 chromosomes, and the resulting daughter cells now have 20 chromosomes each, it shows that the chromosomal number has been reduced by half. 2n ---- n

Diploid organism produce haploid daughter cells

During photosynthesis, plants use( carbon dioxide, nitrogen, or oxygen)obtained from animals.
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use the energy of sunlight to make sugar (glucose) from carbon dioxide and water. Respiration is the process by which animals use O2 to get energy from food. So plants take in CO2 from the air and produce O2, and animals take in O2 from the air and produce CO2.

Predict the likely effect on the ability of substance L to enter the cells if substance L is attached to a large protein instead
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Since the cell membrane is semi-permeable, the likelihood of substance L entering the cell attached to a large protein is lower than that of substance L free in the culture. Substance L enters the cell membrane through active transport, but the cell membrane may block the larger protein, thus blocking substance L, if it is attached to the large protein.
