Answer:

A cell may have either haploid (n) or diploid (2n) number of chromosomes. The chromosomes number is determined based on the process of cell division undergone by the cell ( that is either mitotic or meiotic division).

A chromosome is assigned a number based on its apparent size, with chromosome 1 being the longest. Longer chromosomes would be expected to have more genes on them than shorter chromosomes. Genes that are on different chromosomes will be inherited independently, while genes that are closely positioned to each other on the same chromosome will be inherited together due to a concept called linkage.

The number of distinct chromosomes in a cell determines what is called ‘chromosome number’ (note that this is singular). Humans have a chromosome number of n=23, but most of our cells (since we are diploid) will have 46 chromosomes (2 of each). Each species have a characteristic chromosome number ranging from n=1 up to n>1000. Since the chromosome number indicates how all the genes are split up into different groups, the organisms with higher chromosome numbers will have (in theory) more independent sorting of their genes within their sex cells (gametes), potentially allowing for a greater chance of their offspring having more variety.

In the short-term response to hemorrhage, ________ occurs.
inn [45]

Sympathetic nervous system elevates blood pressure.  Long term, decrease in capillary blood pressure recalls fluids from interstitial spaces. Aldosterone and ADH promote fluid retention. Increased thirst promotes water absorption across the digestive tract. Short term, Carotid and aortic reflexes move up cardiac output and peripheral vasoconstriction.

Type of stress that occurs when a mass of rock is pushed together is called
velikii [3]

The right answer is compression.

There are basically two types of constraints that deform rocks: compression and tension constraints. In compression, forces converge; they can be coaxial or not.

The deformation of a card set under compression constraints illustrates the difference: In the case of a coaxial compression constraint, the cards will be arched. If the stresses are not coaxial, shear will develop; the card game is deformed by sliding the cards on top of each other:
