An elephant has 56 chromosomes. Which statement about a zygote of an elephant is true?

You divide the number of chromosomes in half, just like humans. So the female zygote has 28 chromosomes and the male sperm have 28 chromosomes. This way each set of chromosomes contributes the same amount to each sex cell.

The right answer is The zygote has 56 chromosomes, 28 inherited from the mother and 28 from the father.

In diploid organisms such as mammals, each individual has two copies of each gene, one from the mother and the other from the father (exception: sex chromosome genes). If these two versions are identical, the individual is said to be homozygous for the gene considered. In the opposite case, it has two different versions (two different alleles), and it is heterozygous for this gene.

Answer:

1)pancrease 2)rectum 3)salivary glands/liver

Explanation:

1)Lipase is an enzyme the body uses to break down fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestines. Lipase is produced in the pancreas, mouth, and stomach.

2)Protease is present in gastric juice, stomach, intestine and digestive gland. Saliva and rectum contain traces of protease.

3)Physiology. Amylase is found in high concentration in the pancreas of virtually all animals. However, it is also found in the liver, salivary glands, and small intestinal mucosa of many species; the quantity of amylase in these organs varies considerably with different species

How are animal cells and protozoa similar?
Semenov [28]
Protozoa are single-celled eukaryotes that share some traits with animals. Like animals, they can move, and they are heterotrophs. That means they eat things outside of themselves instead of producing their own food

Answer:

Stomach Flu

Explanation:

Stomach flu—or gastroenteritis—is an infection of the stomach and upper part of the small intestine. Common symptoms are diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, and cramps. Rotavirus and norovirus, which affect millions of people every year, are often the cause. Gastroenteritis often clears up on its own, but you lose fluids through diarrhea and vomiting. Prevent dehydration by drinking water and electrolyte drinks.

Drug-resistant populations of microbes arise when
lozanna [386]

Answer:

The correct option is D. Drug-resistant populations of microbes arise when  exposure to drugs selectively kills sensitive cells, allowing overgrowth of resistant cells.

Explanation:

Drug- resistance can be described as a mechanism through which an organism can overcome the effect of a drug.

Usually, exposure of a drug again and again to a population of microbes will make the microbes resistant to that drug. The cells of the microbes undergo some change to overcome the effect of that particular drug.

A population of drug-resistant microbes might occur when the sensitive microbes get killed by the drug and resistant strains remain alive.
