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

Talja [164]

The correct option is : "Golgi apparatus"

What is endoplasmic reticulum?

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a continuous membrane structure in biology, is vital for the synthesis, folding, modification, and transport of proteins. It forms a series of flattened sacs within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. An endoplasmic reticulum can be found in all eukaryotic cells (ER). The ER typically makes up more than 50% of the cell's membranous composition in animal cells. The two forms of ER, known as rough ER and smooth ER, can be distinguished by differences in certain morphological and functional properties.

Due to the ribosomes connected to its exterior (cytoplasmic) surface, rough ER is so named because of its rough look.

Cilia:
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

E. All the answer options are correct.

Explanation:

Cilia are very small hair-like, membrane-bound cell structures. They are present on the surface of many eukaryotic cells. They are made of microtubules and are continuous with the plasma membrane of a cell. On a single cell, they are present in large numbers as compared to flagella. The major function of cilia is to move the cell or to move substances such as mucous, fluid over or around the cell.
