Answer – 3. A weakened form of a virus
When getting a vaccination, the substance which is injected into the body is a weakened form of a virus. This weakened from of the virus has the ability to arouse the body’s defense mechanism without causing an infection.

Answer:
The question lacks options, the options are:
A). the body cell has 2n; the sex cell has 1n.
B). the body cell has 26; the sex cell has two.
C). the body cell has 1n; the sex cell has 2n.
D). the body cell has 24; the sex cell has 26
The answer is A
Explanation:
According to the question, the snapping turtle possesses 52 chromosomes in its cell. This means that the chromosomal number of its body cell is 52. However, the turtle, which reproduces sexually will produce gametes or sex cells via meiosis. Meiosis is the kind of cell division that results in daughter cells (gametes) that have a reduced number of chromosomes (by half).
Based on this, the diploid cells (2n) of the turtle with chromosome number 52 will undergo meiotic division to produce haploid gametes or sex cells (n) with chromosome number 26.
N.B: Diploid (2n) means two complete sets of chromosomes while haploid (1n) means one complete set of chromosome.
The body cell of the turtle contains two set of chromosomes received from each parent, hence, making it Diploid (2n). However, meiosis will reduce the chromosome number to one set in each gamete i.e. haploid (n).
There are actually two red pigments found in certain vertebrates that function in oxygen transport (or storage). Hemoglobin is present in the blood of most vertebrates and binds oxygen molecules, in order to transport them to body tissues in need of oxygen for energy (ATP) production.
Myoglobin, mainly in mammals, is a protein (enzyme) found in red (skeletal) muscle cells, that aids in binding oxygen when it's plentiful being delivered via blood. The purpose is that in high stress, low oxygen situations such as strenuous exercise, the myoglobin releases its bound oxygen to provide it to the starving overworked muscle cells.
**Fun fact: it's the hemoglobin that gives the bright red color of blood when it's bound to oxygen, and the myoglobin of mammal flesh gives it the typical pinkish-red hue that is seen in mammalian meat (veal, steak, ham, venison, bison, etc.). Other non-mammalian animals (fish, birds, frogs, snake, alligator, etc.) tend to have lighter-colored skeletal muscle meat due to the lack of myoglobin, amongst other factors.
