mafiozo [28]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The correct answer would be - 16 chromosomes or 8 chromosome pairs per cell.

Explanation:

In the body of an organism, all the somatic cells have the same number of chromosomes irrespective of their location in the body which is 2n or diploid. Liver cells would also have 2n number of chromosomes. The diploid number of cells are produced by the mitosis type of cell division or by fusing the sex cell that are egg cells and sperm cells. These sex cells are haploid of n number of cells or haploid.

If a sex cell as given in question sperm cells have 8 chromosomes then the liver cell would be 2n because sex cells after forming a zygote develooped to all other somatic cells including liver cells.

Sex cell = n = 8 chromosomes

liver cell - 2n = 2×8 = 16 chromosomes.

joja [24]

Answer:

Three factors are used.

The availability  of sunlight.

The distance from shore and

The  water depth.

Explanation:

<u>Availability of Sunlight </u>

The photic zone is the upper part of the ocean  into which sunlight penetrates.

<u>Distance from Shore </u>

The intertidal zone is the strip of land where the  land and ocean meet and overlap, or the zone  between high and low tides.

The neritic zone is the marine-life zone that  extends from the low-tide line out to the shelf  break.

The oceanic zone is the marine-life zone  beyond the continental shelf.

<u>Water Depth</u>

The pelagic zone is open zone of any depth.  Animals in this zone swim or float freely.

The benthic zone is the marine-life zone that  includes any sea-bottom surface regardless of  its distance from shore.

The abyssal zone is a subdivision of the benthic  zone characterized by extremely high pressures,  low temperatures, low oxygen, few nutrients,  and no sunlight
