Answer:

4

Explanation:

Number of fossils collected over period 1:

400

Number of fossils collected at a later period :

204

For each display case to have the same number of fossils ; the greatest number of fossils possible per case:

Obtain the greatest common factor of both 400 and 204

400 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 200, 400

204 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 102

Hence, the greatest common factor (400 and 204) is 4

Hence, the greatest Number of Fossil possible per case = 4

Try to stay true to who you are and find a good reason as to why you should be a great leader such as if you are in any AP classes or if you have demonstrated good leadership skills in the past. And if everything else fails people like food so you could bake/cook something cool that's has to do with science. Good luck!

Suppose a butterfly with 16 chromosomes is able to produce offspring. How many chromosomes would the offspring receive from each
Stella [2.4K]

The irght answer is 8.

Each parent will give half of its chromosomes to its offspring through the gametes (which are haploid cells, containing n chromosomes) which will then fuse (male and female gametes) to form a diploid 2n chromosome cell and will eventually give rise to a new individual.

So each parent will give 8 of these chromosomes to their offspring.
