An organism has 40 chromosomes in each body cell. How many chromosomes are in each of the organisms sex cells?

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>

The term Neurotransmitter describes the chemical substances that make it possible for messages to cross from the synapse of a neuron to the target receptor.

<h3>What are Neurotransmitters?</h3>
  • Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that allow neurons to communicate with each other throughout the body.
  • Chemical synaptic transmission is primarily through the release of neurotransmitters from presynaptic neural cells to postsynaptic receptors.
  • There are a number of neurotransmitters used by the body for different functions, including acetylcholine, norepinephrine, glutamate, GABA, glycine, dopamine, and serotonin.
  • Glutamate is the principal excitatory neurotransmitter used in the brain.
  • GABA and Glycine serve as the major inhibitory neurotransmitters.

True [87]

Answer:

1. While Biology is the study of living things, living things themselves are made up of chemical composition. Our survival is dependant on the reactions taking place inside and outside the body. Hence, to understand living things, biologists needs a good understanding of chemistry.

2. 170 pm is the radius of a Carbon Atom.

3. The vast majority of the mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus

4. Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom. This is a tiny, dense region at the center of the atom. Protons have a positive electrical charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit (amu), which is about 1.67×10−27 kilograms.

5. Neutrons are located with protons in the nucleus; they too exchange mesons with protons and with each other to form the strong nuclear force, but they do not have to overcome the repulsion from Coulomb forces since neutrons are not charged.

Answer: Negative

When converting from scientific notation to standard notation if the power of 10 is negative we move the decimal to the left. If it is positive we move the decimal to the right.

Example: 3*10^-3=.03 and 3*10^3=300
