Diano4ka-milaya [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

47 chromosomes

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of division that reduces the chromosome number of the daughter cells by half i.e. 2n - n. It occurs only in reproductive cells to produce sex cells or gametes. In humans, meiosis occurs to produce gametes (egg and sperm) that have 23 haploid chromosomes.

N.B: Somatic human cells have 46 chromosomes

According to this question, a meiotic error occurred during gamete formation, resulting in an egg that has 24 chromosomes. If that egg is fertilized by a normal sperm i.e. sperm with 23 chromosomes. A zygote that posseses (23 + 24) = 47 chromosomes will be produced.

Two forces F1 and F2 act on a particle. As a result the speed of the particle increases. Which one of the following is NOT possi
ddd [48]

Answer:

Option D, The work done by each force is negative

Explanation:

When both the forces are negative, then irrespective of which force is large or small, the net force will definitely negative. A negative force indicates reduction in kinetic energy of particle. Since mass is constant , it is the speed which reduces and produces negative work. Reduction in speed is contrasting to the statement give in the question. Hence, option D is not possible.

Identify the spinal cord structure to which herpes virus retreats after chicken pox.
stellarik [79]

The herpes virus infects the humans to cause chickenpox disease. The virus during its stage of causing infection, it spreads through the epidermal cells by infecting them. This causes the typical rash on skin that is seen in chickenpox. The virus then enters that sensory nerves present on the ski and travels along the length of the neurons to the sensory dorsal-root ganglia adjacent to the spinal cord. Here the virus stays in an inactive stage.
