Answer:

The text is explaining a cell membrane.

Explanation:

A cell membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer that acts as a kind of "skin" for the cell. The membrane helps the cell maintain homeostasis and filter out harmful particles. Elements like oxygen are allowed to pass through via protein channels, which act as gates. Does this answer your question?

ITS Not A clearly that’s just a really dumb answer to chose and on top of that D is the correct one because they both are bonds that wrap around and it tells what the DNA is (: hope this helps!

Plant species A has a diploid chromosome number of 12. Plant species B has a diploid number of 16. A new species, C, arises as a
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

c. 28

Explanation:

Plant A has a dipoid chromosome number of 12, so its gametes will have an haploid number of 6 chromosomes.

Plant B has a dipoid chromosome number of 16, so its gametes will have an haploid number of 8 chromosomes.

<h2><u>Plant A</u>                      <u>Plant B</u></h2><h2>2n = 12                       2n = 16</h2><h2>  n = 6                          n = 8</h2><h2 />

The new species C arises as an allopolyploid from A and B. An allopolyploid usually originates from the breeding of two different species.

In this case, <u>a gamete from plant A combines with a gamete from plant B to form a hybrid with 14 chromosomes</u> (6 from A and 8 from B). These chromosomes are unpaired, so the hybrid is sterile.

In order to become a fertile diploid individual of species C, the most common mechanism is polyploidization, where the genome duplicates. <u>That way, the resulting plant C has a diploid number of 14 x 2 = 28 chromosomes</u>, of which 12 are A and 16 are B.

Covert 100 miles into kilometers
Solnce55 [7]

1m = 1.60934km so:

100m = 160.934 (100 x 1.60934)

Remember that these are approximations, which means the values are not 100% correct but varie in between 98% and 99% of "correctness"


Hope it helped,
