Answer:

4 chromosomes

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of cell division that produces daughter cells that already have their chromosome number reduced by half. Due to this reason, meiosis is called a reduction division. A diploid parent cell (2n) will produce gametes with haploid cells (n).

According to this question, a fruit fly has 8 chromosomes or 4 pairs of chromosomes in its wing cells, after undergoing meiotic division, it will possess 4 chromosomes in each gamete cell. Note that the chromosome number has been reduced by half.

24. Fill in the blanks. An enzyme is made up of _____. Enzymes can
Nikitich [7]
Enzymes are made of strings of amino acids chemically bonded to one another. These bonds give each enzyme a unique structure, which determines its function. They mostly break down carbohydrates and fats. Once a protein source reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acid and enzymes called proteases break it down into smaller chains of amino acids. Amino acids are joined together by peptides, which are broken by proteases.
