Answer:

If a dog's gametes have 33 chromosomes, the somatic or body cells have a genetic content of 66 chromosomes.

Explanation:

Gametes are the sex cells of sexually-reproducing organisms, with the characteristic of being haploid, that is, their genetic content is reduced by half. Unlike gametes, somatic or body cells contain the complete charge of chromosomes, so they are called diploids.

If the genetic content of a dog's gamete is 33 chromosomes, its body cells must have twice as many, which means 66 chromosomes.

An additional note: a dog really has 78 chromosomes, so its gametes have 39 chromosomes.

They are cells used for sexual reproduction.

They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm.

Ratling [72]

Answer: Synthesizing antibodies.

Explanation:

A person should have a balanced diet which consists of fruits, vegetables, pulses and many more nutritious things.

Escaping from any of these food will cause problem in the body. A girl has skipped the protein intake inside the body by skipping the animal derived food ans is now depending on the plant source for the diet.

Sooner, she was ill and had infection in the body because there was lack of protein in her diet which lead to problem in synthesizing antibodies.

h. Sarcomere 7. Unit of alternating light and dark striations between discs (lines)

i. Sarcoplasm 2. The cytoplasm of a muscle fiber

j. Sarcoplasmic reticulum 9. A cellular organelle in muscle fiber corresponding to the endoplasmic

k. Tendon 10. The cordlike part that attaches a muscle to a bone

l. Transverse (T) tubule reticulum 1. Membranous channel extending inward from muscle fiber membrane

Explanation:

A muscle has around it epimysium, which is connective tissue. Inside the epimysium, there are fascicles, and around each of them, there is perimysium. Inside every fascicle, there are muscle fibers, each of them is surrounded by a connective tissue called endomysium. Between every muscle, there is also connective tissue and is called fascia. The connective tissue has vessels and provides support.

The muscle cells are called fibers. They have a membrane, the sarcolemma, a cytoplasm, the sarcoplasm, and a sarcomere, which is the functional unit of the fiber, in other words, it is the structure responsible for the contraction. The sarcomere has different bands made of thick filaments of myosin and thin filaments of actin. They are the light and dark striations that go from disc z to disc z when we observe the sarcomere under a special microscope. The sarcoplasmic reticulum is the place that stores the calcium necessary for the contraction of the fiber, and the transverse tubule reticulum allows the contraction of various fibers since they spread the action potential amongst fibers.
