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.

lakkis [162]

Drosophila melanogaster an excellent model for studying fundamentals of development because many of the genes involved in the development of the fruit fly are also found in humans and  the precise formation of each of their 959 body cells has been mapped.

Its many of the genes involved in the development of the fruit fly are also found in humans. Drosophila melanogasteris which is also called Fruit fly is small in size and minimal requirements, many fly's can be raised and tested within a small laboratory which does not have access time, space or funding.

Genetic factors also make this fly an ideal model organism. Drosophila melanogasteris only has four pairs of chromosomes compared to 23 pairs in humans.

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Ocean temperatures can cause large storms such as hurricanes or tropical storms. Warmer ocean waters create larger and stronger storms as well as keep said storms going longer. Warmer ocean waters can also cause the temperature in the immediate air around it to be slightly warmer.
