Answer:

d. All red and blue chromosomes together make up a diploid set.

f. The chromosomes of one color make up a haploid set.

Explanation:

There are two principal types of cells in the organism:

Diploid cells (2n)

Somatic diploid cells (2n) reproduce by the process of mitosis and produce two diploid cells. These cells have a set of chromosomes inherited from the maternal side and another homologous set of chromosomes inherited from the paternal side. This is why the number of chromosomes in these double sets of the somatic cells is diploid, 2n.
Germ diploid reproductive cells (2n) also reproduce by mitosis and produce two diploid cells. But can also reproduce by the process of meiosis, suffering a reduction in the number of chromosomes and producing four haploid cells (n).

Haploid cells (n)

Gametes are the product of germ cell division by meiosis and contain half the number of chromosomes that are in the somatic cells. They have only one set of chromosomes, n (haploid). Their destiny is to merge in the process of fecundation, during which a new diploid cell called the zygote emerges through fertilization. The zygote is a complete diploid cell that suffers successive mitosis and forms a new organism.

- So, through meiosis, the diploid germ cell (2n) produces four haploid cells (n) that are the gametes.

- Through fecundation or fertilization, two gametes (n) merge and produce a diploid cell (2n) that is the zygote.

In the example, red chromosomes belong to one gamete, and blue chromosomes belong to the other gamete, So

a. Red chromosomes make up a diploid set. False, they make up a haploid cell because they only are a single set of chromosomes.

b. All red and blue chromosomes together make up a haploid set. False. They come from two different gametes, which are haploid, so together they make up a diploid cell.

c. Blue chromosomes make up a diploid set. False, they make up a haploid cell because they only are a single set of chromosomes.

d. All red and blue chromosomes together make up a diploid set. TRUE. When both gametes merge (blue chromosomes + red chromosomes) they form a diploid cell.

e. The chromosomes of one color make up a diploid set. False. Nor red or blue chromosomes by themselves can make up a diploid cell, because they are a single set of chromosomes.

f. The chromosomes of one color make up a haploid set. TRUE. One gamete, with one single set of chromosomes, either red or blue, are haploid cells.

B) Frost

Frost is a thin layer of ice on a solid surface, which forms from water vapor in an above freezing atmosphere coming in contact with a solid surface whose temperature is below freezing, and resulting in a phase change from water vapor to ice as the water vapor reaches the freezing point.

Answer:

Plants absorb water in a large amount because water is the only medium which is present in a plant for the transportation of minerals. So, the plant absorbs a lot of water even if it is lose by transpiration.

Answer:

a. Mastication process and formation of bolus in the oral cavity

b. The contraction in the stomach breaks the food down into smaller pieces. These pieces are then moved to the small intestine.

c. In the small intestine, food particles are broken down into nutrients, fat, protein and carbohydrates which are absorbed into the bloodstream.

Explanation:

a. First step of digestive system functioning is the mastication process and formation of bolus in the oral cavity.

b. The contraction in stomach, with the help of digestive enzymes and acids, break the food down into smaller pieces. The small pieces of food are then released into the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).

c. In the small intestine, two enzymes released from pancreas and gall bladder break down the food particles into fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Thereon, nutrients and carbohydrates, proteins and fats are absorbed into the bloodstream.
