<em /> $n$ represents the haploid number of an organism. We know that gametes are haploid, therefore there will 32 chromosomes in each gamete. A somatic cell on the other hand is what we know as a body cell, which is a product of mitosis. Mitosis produces diploid cells which is represented by $2n$ . In order to find this value, simply multiply the $n$ value by 2 and you should get 64 chromosomes in each somatic cell.

Answer:

river flowing at a certain speed comprises kinetic energy as water has certain velocity and mass. The kinetic energy of an asteroid falling towards earth is very large. The kinetic energy of the aeroplane is more during the flight due to large mass and speedy velocity

Explain what causes earthquakes and at what types of plate boundaries are earthquakes common.

JulijaS [17]

Plates move away from one another at divergent boundaries. This happens at mid-ocean ridges. Plates move towards one another at convergent boundaries; one plate is forced below another in a process called subduction. Earthquakes and composite volcanoes are common at this type of boundary. hope this helps
