Gametes or sex cells (sperm and eggs) contain half the number of chromosomes that exist in autosomal cells; they are haploid. Therefore in the case where the diploid number of chromosomes is 52, the haploid number would be half of that, meaning 52/2 = 26.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Through the process of Osmosis, water will move from a region of high water potential ('concentration') to low water potential. Therefore, water will slowly leave the cells of the potato and enter the sugar solution in an attempt to reach equilibrium and the potato will therefore lose mass.

The specific heat capacity represents the amount of energy, in joules, that it takes to raise the temperature of one gram of a given substance by one degree Celsius. Put more simply, the amount of energy it takes to raise a quantity of water by one degree Celsius would raise an equivalent quantity of sand by a little over 14 degrees. Likewise, sand does not need to lose nearly as much energy as water to produce equivalent cooling. Since it "holds" a lot less energy, it cools down much faster than sand.
Indeed, liquid water has an unusually high specific heat capacity. Because it is much less prone to temperature swings than other common substances, large bodies of water often work to moderate temperatures in a region. This helps to explain, for example, why average temperatures fluctuate very little over the year in San Francisco, a city whose climate is heavily influenced by the water that nearly surrounds it.
