The boiled kernels remain sweet instead of starchy because the applied heat greatly stops the enzymatic action of the corn kernels. The heat tends to stop the conversion of sugar to starch because when kernels are starchy than sugar, it will spoil easily. High sugar content preserves the corn kernels.

How many chromosomes are found in the organism that results from the union of a human sperm cell and an egg cell?
Liono4ka [1.6K]
A human has a total of 46 chromosomes (23 from daddy and 23 from mommy). :)
A sperm cell has 23 chromosomes and an egg cell that has 23 chromosomes. 23 + 23 equals 46. Sometimes (due to mutations), a person
may have less chromosomes than they need. This may cause some problems like Turner syndrome(treatment can help aid the situation but, it can't be cured).
Hope this helps you :)
