Biology

7 0

Answer:

If a species has a number of chromosomes 2n = 18, then its somatic cells have 16 autosomes.

Explanation:

Somatic cells are diploid, that is, they have the complete chromosomal charge, and it is represented as 2n. In organisms with sexual reproduction the chromosomes are divided into autosomes and sex chromosomes, which are 2.

<u>If a species has a number 2n = 18, it means that its somatic cells have 18 chromosomes, of which 16 are autosomes</u> and 2 are sex chromosomes. Autosomes contain the structural and functional characteristics of an individual, while the sex chromosomes determine sex.

Two differences between hormones and the nervous system
leva [86]

Answer:

Hormones can be proteins, lipids or cholesterol-based molecules. Neurotransmitters are protein. The main difference between hormones and neurotransmitters is that Hormones are produced in the endocrine glands and released into the bloodstream where they find their movement targets at a distance from their origin. In contrast, Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic space by a terminal of an excited presynaptic nerve cell and transmit a nerve signal to the neighboring postsynaptic nerve cell.

Which structure is common in animal cells but rare in plant cells?
Kobotan [32]

The correct answer is option 3, that is, lysosome.  

The lysosomes comprise hydrolytic enzymes essential for intracellular digestion. They are commonly found in the cells of animals but are rare in plant cells. In the plant cells, the hydrolytic enzymes are most often found in the vacuoles.  

The other mentioned components like cell wall are exclusively found in plant cells, not in animal cells, vacuole is found in both plant and animal cells, it is bigger in plant cells in comparison to animal cells, and the mitochondria are witnessed in both plant and animal cells.
