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.

Write a paragraph discussing the relationship between the organizational levels of the environment; biosphere, biome, community,

skad [1K]

The environment is studied at different levels & stages.
Biosphere: The biosphere is the zone in which life exists. It consists of the atmosphere& the hydrosphere alongwith the earth surface where living beings live.

The biome is a community of plants and animals (flaura & fauna).
Community: A community is a group of people/living beings who live in a specific location. It is used to describe two or more populations of different species that exist at same place.
Population: A population is the multiple individuals or living organisms of a single species that live in an area.
The populations are formed by lalrge number of groups of organisms.
Group of populations form communities. The group of all communities form a biome, which exist in the biosphere.

Which of the following is/are true?

LenKa [72]

Answer: Option A ,Band C.

Explanation:

Sympatric speciation is the evolution or isolation of new species from the original populations of species occupying in the same geographical area. Sympatric speciation commonly occur due to sexual selection of mates can cause reproductive barriers or isolation which keep gene pools separate. A plant with extra set of homologous chromosomes is an example of sympatric speciation.

Answer:

Solutions are formed when the water's polar molecules separate the polar molecules of an ionic or molecular compound

Explanation:

Water can hydrogen bond to other molecules due to the O-H bond present in water with partial charges. Water can form hydrogen bonding with other polar molecules. The answer would hence be Solutions are formed when the water's polar molecules separate the polar molecules of an ionic or molecular compound(because polar water dissolves polar molecules in between their interactions).
