The diploid cells in this case include nerve cell, bone cell and muscle cell. A diploid cell is a cell that contains two sets of chromosomes, which is double the haploid chromosome number. They include all the somatic cells with exception of germ line cells. Gametes are haploid cells meaning they only have one set of chromosomes. During sexual reproduction, gametes (sperm and egg cells) fuse at fertilization to form a diploid zygote which develops into a diploid organism.
Explanation:
- Visual and auditory stimuli both occur in the form of waves. Although the two stimuli are very different in terms of composition, wave forms share similar characteristics that are especially important to our visual and auditory perceptions. Waveforms of different types surround us at all times, however we only have receptors which are sensitive to specific types of wavelengths. In this section, we describe the physical properties of the waves as well as the perceptual experiences associated with them.
AMPLITUDE AND WAVELENGTH
- Two physical characteristics of a wave are amplitude and wavelength (figure below). The amplitude of a wave is the height of a wave as measured from the highest point on the wave (peak or crest) to the lowest point on the wave (trough). Wavelength refers to the length of a wave from one peak to the next.
The amplitude or height of a wave is measured from the peak to the trough. The wavelength is measured from peak to peak.
Wavelength is directly related to the frequency of a given wave form. Frequency refers to the number of waves that pass a given point in a given time period and is often expressed in terms of hertz (Hz), or cycles per second. Longer wavelengths will have lower frequencies, and shorter wavelengths will have higher frequencies
