The different number of maternal and paternal chromosomes possible will be 8. that is option A is correct.
Chromosomes are defined as the genetic material within the body. They are thread like structures within the DNA and are made of proteins. In general human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes out of which 22 are numbered while 1 is the sex chromosome. Gametes are genetic material that are generally haploid in nature and they carry only one chromosome along with them. According to the question, there are 6 diploid chromosomes present which means there are 3 pairs of chromosomes. So each gametes will have a total number of 3 chromosomal pairs irrespective of their type that is maternal or paternal. Therefore combination of maternal and paternal chromosomes are given by
Combination = 2ⁿ where n is pair of chromosomes and here n = 3
Combination = 2³ = 8

Answer:
One major side effect of DDT was the extreme damage to bird populations. DDT caused the shells of bird eggs to become extremely thin, which made them prone to breaking from minor disturbances and failing to thrive due to temperature regulation issues. It also slowly poisoned animals, especially birds that fed on insects that were poisoned by DDT. A notable bird species that was affected by DDT is the bald eagle. At one point in the 1960s, bald eagles nearly went extinct due to various effects of DDT. The threat of one of the most recognizable animals in America going extinct led to lawmakers trying to ban DDT.
