Answer:

Light refracts whenever it travels at an angle into a substance with a different refractive index (optical density). This change of direction is caused by a change in speed. When light travels from air into water, it slows down, causing it to change direction slightly. This change of direction is called refraction

Hope this helps.

kakasveta [241]

Answer: 26 chromosomes.
The diploid number is the number of chromosomes required for two sets of copies of the organism’s genome ( this is the number of chromosomes in the cells except gametic cells). The organism's genome is represented as n, and the diploid number,as 2n (2 x 13= 26).
