Answer:
46 chromosomes
Explanation:
Humans are diploid organisms i.e. they contain two sets of chromosomes (each set from each parent). Each set is 23 chromosomes, hence, two sets will be 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes. This means that each somatic/body cell will contain 46 individual chromosomes.
According to this question, DNA was extracted from a cheek cell. If one could magnify the extracted material, there would be 46 individual chromosomes from each of these cheek cells, considering that cheek cell is a somatic cell.
Answer:
a) Meiosis
Explanation:
Meiosis is a form of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing animals' germ cells and is utilized to create gametes such as sperm and egg cells. It takes two rounds of division to produce four cells, each with only one copy of each chromosome.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The embryonic development of fertilized egg includes cleavage, blastulation, implantation, gastrulation and organogenesis.
Cleavage division divides the zygote into blastomeres. First cleavage division result in two blastomeres, second cleavage division results in a transient three cell stage. Third cleavage division forms 8 blastomere. These result in the formation of a sold ball of cells called morula. Morula is 16 cell stage and it descends towards the uterus in 4-6 days. As the morula enters the uterus, it gets a rich supply of nutrients. Trophoblast cells are formed which secrete a fluid into the interior creating a cavity called blastocoel. The inner cell mass now comes to lie on one side as embryonal knob. With the formation of blastocoel, morula is converted into blastula which is called blastocyst in mammals.
INTERVENTION facilitates a safe environment free of sexual harassment and assault. The correct option is A. Sexual assault is any intentional sexual contact characterized by the use of force, physical threat or abuse of authority without the consent of the victim. Sexual assault is a crime and the government must intervene to see that offenders are maximally punished.
