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.

Why would you expect an earthworm to lack an exoskeleton??
Murrr4er [49]
You would expect an earthworm to have no exoskeleton because as you see it is very flexible and soft. Organisms with such have body parts that are divided and an earthworm do not have any visible parts on them also having an exoskeleton would not allow an organism to move like an earthworm does.

Animals can adapt to changing environments by doing all of these things but one. That is A) changing their diet. B) reproducing
murzikaleks [220]
B- Reproducing more often. If the environment is not right for them then reproduction doesn’t help them adapt. They respond by changing behavior, moving to another area, and even modifying their physical bodies (diets included).
