Sex cells will always contain half of the number of chromosomes needed for a being. So if a fishes sperm cell contains 12 chromosomes and the ovum also contains 12 chromosomes then when fused together they will have 24 chromosomes in total.
In order for the process of the fish to even be made the sperm and ovum must be fused together. Therefore the number of chromosomes that would be found in the cells forming the gills is 24 chromosomes.

The karyotype of one species of primate has 48 chromosomes. In a particular female, cell division malfunctions, and she produces

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

E) Either anaphase I or II

Explanation:

Failure of segregation of homologous chromosomes during anaphase I or failure of segregation of sister chromatids during anaphase II leads to the presence of the abnormal number of chromosomes in resultant gametes. In the given example, the egg mother cell with 48 chromosomes (24 pairs) would enter meiosis I but the failure of one pair of homologous chromosomes to segregate from each other followed by normal meiosis II would result in the formation of two gametes with one extra chromosome and two gametes with one less chromosome.

On the other hand, if the nondisjunction occurs at anaphase II of meiosis II, two normal gametes, one gamete with one extra chromosome and one gamete with one less chromosome will be formed. Therefore, nondisjunction at anaphase I or anaphase II would have resulted in the production of eggs with one extra chromosome.

How does dispersal help different species? dispersal helps different species to increase their range of places, thereby helping

icang [17]

Dispersal helps different species to increase their range of places, thereby helping to increase their population size in different regions. Dispersal also helps to avoid crowding of diseases of a single location as species move to different locations.

<h3>What is dispersal?</h3>

Dispersal is the act of distributing things over a large area. It is when the individuals or seeds move from one site to their growing site.
Dispersal can be active (move by oneself) or passive (require dispersers).
Seed dispersal is the mechanism of transport of plant seeds to new sites for germination and the establishment of new individuals and colonies.
This depends upon the effectiveness of the seed dispersers.
Seed dispersal occurs by wind, water, animals, bats, explosions or gravity of the earth.
Dispersal of seeds is very important for the survival of plant species.
If the plants of same type grow too closely, they have to compete with each other for light, water and nutrients from the soil.
Seed dispersal allows plants to spread out from a wide area and avoid competing with one another for the same resources.
