The answers would be 24 and fertilises.
Pollen is the male gamete of lily, which is a haploid cell, with only half the chromosomes of the normal diploid ones. Therefore, if the haploid gamete has 12 chromosomes, so the diploid would be 12+12 which makes 24.
The egg is also a gamete of lily, but it's a female gamete. It is also a haploid cell, with only 12 chromosomes which is given in the question. So, when the sperm fuses and fertilises the egg, the zygote would have 24 chromosomes which is formed by 2 haploid gametes.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>The biologists clarify these similarities as a homologous pair. This is based on the principle of convergent evolution.</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
<em>Convergent evolution</em> is understood by the phenomenon of development of similar organs in different species in different period. Those<em> homologous pair </em>have same structure but can have different function in the different <em>species of organism. </em>
The bone of human arms, wings of the bat and dolphin flippers contain many of same bones which have developed from the same embryo tissue but the function for each is <em>different in different species.</em>
You didn't show anything, but more energy would affect enzyme activity.
They concluded that horses evolved with the emergence of grasslands and an increase of predators. The digits of their early Eocene ancestor evolved into hooves.
