Answer:

1. 8 copies of each gene in somatic cells

2. 4 copies of each gene in gametes

Explanation:

According to the question, strawberry is an octoploid organism (8n). This means that it contains 8 sets of chromosomes in its genome. If it contains 8 copies of each chromosome, then it also contains 8 copies of each gene in its body or somatic cell (4 copies from each parent).

However, it will produce gametes or reproductive cells via meiosis. Meiosis is a kind of cell division that reduces the chromosomal number by half. Hence, an octoploid strawberry (8n) with 8 copies of genes will undergo meiosis to produce gametes that have 4 copies of each chromosome and hence, four copies of each gene i.e. 4n (tetraploid).

Answer:

c) There will be a net movement of salt from side B to side A

Explanation:

According to the given information, the solution at side A is hypotonic to the solution at side B. The separating membrane is permeable to salt and would allow the movement of salt from the hypertonic side B to the hypotonic side A. Transport of substances down their concentration gradient is a passive movement and occurs from the region of higher concentration of the substance to that of its lower concentration.

The right option is d) bubbles

The production of bubbles when baking soda mixes with an acid such as vinegar is the observation that indicated a chemical property of the baking soda.

Baking soda (also known as sodium bicarbonate) is a nonflammable, white crystalline powder. Baking soda is odorless, and alkaline. Baking soda reacts with vinegar (acetic acid) to produce carbon dioxide (a gas), water, sodium ion and acetate ion. Baking soda is used for many purposes such as; as an antacid for treating indigestion, for baking, in fire extinguishers, as a water softener, as a pesticide, and to remove dirts from materials.
