Answer:

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

<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.

How does the water cycle purify water
dimulka [17.4K]

During the water cycle some of the water in the oceans and freshwater bodies, such as lakes and rivers, is warmed by the sun and evaporates. During the process of evaporation, impurities in the water are left behind. As a result, the water that goes into the atmosphere is cleaner than it was on Earth.
