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

Answer:

There are different types of proteins present which are made of amino acid sub-units. Proteins play various important functions in an organism's body. Some of these functions are:

  • Growth and maintenance of cells and individuals.
  • Antibodies are proteins which provide immunity.
  • Enzymes are proteins which catalyze different reactions.
  • Many proteins allow movement of substances inside and outside of the cell membrane. They are known as carrier proteins.
  • Many proteins serve as structural proteins.

Water would move out of the cells of the microorganisms by osmosis and the cytoplasm would become dehydrated, killing the cells.
The brine is a hypertonic solution, thereby "pulling" the water out of the bacterial cells.
