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.

When oxygen is plentiful inside a skeletal muscle cell, what happens to the pyruvic acid that is formed during glycolysis?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

d. it diffuses into mitochondria to be broken down to generate ATP

Explanation:

When enough oxygen is available in the muscle cells, pyruvate produced by glycolysis enters the mitochondrial matrix. Once inside the mitochondria, pyruvate is decarboxylated into acetyl CoA. The reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase. Acetyl CoA then enters a sequence of reactions called Kreb's cycle and is broken down into CO2 and H2O. The energy released during these reactions is stored in the form of NADH and FADH2.

The NADH and FADH2 are oxidized by giving their electrons to O2 via electron transport chain. During this oxidation, the proton concentration gradient is generated across the inner mitochondrial membrane which in turn drives the process of ATP synthesis.
