Answer:

There will be 12 chromosomes

Explanation:

We have given that The epithelial cells in the skin of an animal have 24 chromosomes

We have to find the number of chromosomes present in the gametes of this animal

We know that number of chromosomes present in the gametes is given by

\frac{number\ of\ chromosmes\ present\ in\ skin}{2}

So number of chromosomes in gametes =\frac{24}{2}=12chromosomes

Answer:

The correct answer will be- 12 chromosomes

Explanation:

The gametes are the germ cells formed in the organisms which are formed through the process of meiosis. Since the gametes are formed through meiosis, therefore, each gamete cell will be a haploid cell that is half the ploidy level of a somatic cell.

Therefore, if the number of the chromosome in the epithelial cell will be 24 chromosomes then the chromosome number present in the germ cells will be half the ploidy level to maintain the haploidy thus, the germ cells will contain 12 chromosomes.

Thus, 12 chromosomes are the correct answer.

What is oxygens method of transport
never [62]

Oxygen is transported in the blood in two ways: A small amount of O 2 (1.5 percent) is carried in the plasma as a dissolved gas. Most oxygen (98.5 percent) carried in the blood is bound to the protein hemoglobin in red blood cells. A fully saturated oxyhemoglobin (HbO 2) has four O 2 molecules attached.
