Fungi during their life cycle have a haploid phase.
Also have a diploid phase.
Human somatic cells are diploid. (Blood, skin, Muscles, even zygote)
Human sex cells are haploid. (Eggs and sperms)
Hope this helps.
Answer:
Mercury is different because:
- Mercury is smaller and not a large as Earth, about 1/3 the size of Earth
- The composition of Mercury is more metallic than the one of Earth

- It also has no moons
- Has craters
- Has no atmosphere

Answer:
A) Propose two ways in which antibiotic resistance may develop in a bacterium?
Antibiotic resistance may develop in a bacterium through A GENETIC MUTATION and BY REQUIRING RESISTANCE FROM ANOTHER BACTERIUM
B.) Describe how bacterial cells acquire the ability to produce toxins?
The virulent strains of bacteria as in Corynebacterium diphtheria, and Streptococcus pyogenes all manufacture toxins with weighty physiological impacts, unlike the nonvirulent strains which do not manufacture toxins. The toxins are generated by a bacteriophage gene that has been received by transduction.
Red blood cells will swell and burst. The
reason behind this is that red blood cells are okay when they are in
the plasma (the watery part of the blood) because the solutes in plasma
are so well balanced that plasma is rendered isotonic. An isotonic
solution is a type of solution that has the same salt concentration as
its surrounding environment and thus the substances around it e.g. cells
neither gain nor lose water. In the blood plasma, the red blood cells
neither lose nor gain water and so they remain intact.<span>However distilled
water is hypotonic (has less or no solutes) and therefore osmosis will
take place when red blood cell which have a higher solute concentration
are placed in it. Water molecules will leave the distilled water and
pass into the red blood cells through the semi-permeable membrane of the
cells in an attempt to equalize the difference in osmotic pressure on
either side of the membrane. In so doing, water will accumulate in the
cell which will then swell to capacity and ultimately burst.</span>
