Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Suppose if number of chromosomes is represented by "n"

Then, the total number of chromosomes in a haploid cell is "n"

and the number of chromosomes in a diploid cell is two times the number of chromosomes in haploid cell i.e "2n"

Normal body cells are diploid therefore they have 2n chromosomes

Here 2n is equal to 40 . Therefore, n will be equal to 20

Sex cells are haploid and hence they will have n number of chromosomes i.e 20

hence, option B is correct

The chromosomes in the sex cells would be half the chromosomes in the body cells; so since each body cell has 40 <span>chromosomes and half of that is 20, there's your answer. It's B. 20</span>

What is "static pressure" in Hearing Science? <br><br> I will mark brainliest!
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

It has long been known that static pressure affects middle-ear function and conventional tympanometry uses variations in static pressure for clinical assessment of the middle ear. Middle-ear under-pressures tend to reduce the velocity magnitude more than do middle-ear over pressures.

The effect of middle-ear static pressure on the acoustic response of both structures is similar in that non-zero middle-ear static pressures generally reduce the velocity magnitude of the two membrane components in response to sound stimuli.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts
Grace [21]

Answer:

C. prokaryotic cells

Definitions

The Mitochondrion is an organelle in the cytoplasm of cells that functions in energy production.

Chloroplast is usually defined as a plastic containing chlorophyll.

Chlorophyll is the green coloring matter of leaves and plants, essential to the production in a bluish-black form, C55H72MgN405 (chlorophyll a), and a dark-green form, C55H70MgN4O6 (chlorophyll b).  

A root cell is one of the maestro cells in the human organic structure that has possible ability of turning into any of the more than the organic structure's 200 cell types.  

Prokaryotes is any cellular organism that has no nuclear membrane, no organelles in the cytoplasm except ribosomes, and has its genetic material in the form of single continuous strands forming coils or loops, characteristic of all organisms in the kingdom Monera, as the bacteria and blue-green algae.

<h2>What are the similarities and differences between prokaryotes, mitochondria, and chloroplasts?</h2>

Both mitochondria and heterotrophic prokaryotes, as well as chloroplasts and autotrophic prokaryotes, have a genetic structure (DNA with a circular double helix shape and the genes themselves), as well as comparable ribosome types. In reality, the endosymbiotic idea is based on these parallels.
