Answer:

The correct answer would be - three chromosomes.

Explanation:

Meiosis is the type of cell division that takes place in only sex cells and called reduction division as a single parent cell divide into four daughter cell that contains a half number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

The daughter cells are always haploid and have the half number of chromosomes. If an organism has 2n number of in its parent sex cell the daughter cells after meiosis will have n number of chromosomes

Therefore, mosquito = 2n = 6

after meiosis = n = 6/2 = 3

Thus, the correct answer would be - 3 chromosomes.

Which combination describes the plasma membrane?

lilavasa [31]

Answer: C) Hydrophobic interior, hydrophilic exterior

Explanation:

The plasma membrane of the cell defines its boundary and separates its internal components from the external environment.
The basic components of the plasma membrane include phospholipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and cholesterol.
The plasma membrane is a phospholipid bilayer, with hydrophobic tails of the phospholipid projecting inwards and the hydrophilic exterior in contact with the external environment.
Due to this, the plasma membrane has a hydrophobic interior and hydrophilic exterior.
