You may have heard through various media of an animal alleged to be the hybrid of a rabbit and a cat. Given that the cat (Felis

domesticus) has a diploid chromosome number of 38 and a rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) has a diploid chromosome number of 44, what would be the expected chromosome number in the somatic tissues of this alleged hybrid

Answer:

The correct answer is - 2n = 41 chromosomes.

Explanation:

It is given that the cat has a diploid chromosome number of 38 while the rabbit has a diploid number of 44 chromosomes and if they form a hybrid then their expected chromosome number in somatic cells would be -

Cat (2n=38) produces haploid gametes with 19 chromosomes (n-19).

Rabbit (2n=44) produces haploid gametes with 22 chromosomes(n=22)

19+22= 41 chromosomes in the particular hybrid as half number of chromosomes come from each parent.

1. The correct answer is pH.

The activity of the enzymes might be affected by environmental changes such as change in pH. Each enzyme has the point when it is the most active and this value is known as the optimum pH. Extremely high or low pH values can lead to loss of enzyme activity and stability.

Phosphofructokinase is sensitive to acidity, meaning that it is inhibited by low pH levels.

2. The correct answer is temperature.

Enzyme is sensitive to the environmental conditions such as temperature changes.

Temperature is a factor that usually increases the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions by increasing the activity of enzymes. But, after reaching the optimum temperature, reaction rate abruptly declines. This happens because enzymes are deactivated or denatured at a certain temperature (above 40° C).

Which type of cell is most likely to have the most mitochondria? muscle cells in the legs of a marathon runner nondividing cells
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

muscle cells in the legs of a marathon runner

Explanation:

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of cells and serve as a site for the aerobic stage of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is complete oxidation of nutrients in the presence of oxygen to produce a large number of ATP molecules. Therefore, the cells that require more ATP molecules as an energy source would most likely have a greater number of mitochondria.

Muscle cells are responsible for body movement. Muscle cells in the legs of a runner would require a constant supply of ATP during running since muscle contraction requires ATP. To sustain the continuous muscle contraction during the marathon, the muscle cells in the legs of the runner would have most number of mitochondria.

How does oxygen enter your<br> bloodstream?<br> Please help
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

haemoglobin

Explanation:

Inside the air sacs, oxygen moves across paper-thin walls to tiny blood vessels called capillaries and into your blood. A protein called haemoglobin in the red blood cells then carries the oxygen around your body

What would most likely happen to a unicellular organism if it was exposed to a hypotonic solution for an extended period of time
e-lub [12.9K]
The answer is that a unicellular organism would swell and burst.

In a hypotonic solution <span>the </span>water concentration<span> of the cell's cytoplasm is </span>lower<span> then that of the hypotonic solution. If unicellular organism is exposed to a hypotonic solution, the water from the solution will enter the organism by the process called osmosis. The aim is to balance water concentration on the inside and outside of the organism. But, that water entering the cytoplasm of the cell will make pressure on the cell membrane. If the </span><span>excess water cannot be removed from the organism, it will swell and burst.</span>
