Answer:
Chromosome number in gametes- haploid (n)
Chromosome number in zygote- diploid (2n)
Explanation:
Sexually-reproducing organisms make use of gametes to reproduce. The gametes are produced via the process of meiosis, which is a cell division that results in daughter cells (gametes) that have their chromosomal number reduced by half. A diploid (2n) organism i.e. possess two set of chromosomes undergoes meiosis to produce haploid (n) gametes i.e. contains one set of chromosomes. The male parent produces haploid sperm while the female parent produces haploid egg.
During reproduction, these haploid gametes (sperm and egg) combine in a process called FERTILIZATION to produce a diploid ZYGOTE. The diploid zygote then divides and grows into the full organism. Hence, since a zygote is formed by the fusion of two haploid gametes (sperm and egg), it contains a diploid chromosome number i.e. sperm (n) + egg (n) = zygote (2n)
Answer:
Independent variable: different amounts of second-hand smoke
Explanation:
The independent variable in an experiment is the variable that the experimenter changes or manipulates in order to bring about a measurable response.
In this question, a test is being carried out to determine the health effects of different amounts of second-hand smoke on one-year-old hamsters. Based on this, the independent/manipulated variable is the DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF SECOND-HAND SMOKE because it is the variable being changed.
Answer:
Movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration
Explanation:
- Diffusion can be defined as the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
- Diffusion is a special type of diffusion that involves movement of solute molecules from a region of a high concentration to a region of high concentration until equilibrium is achieved.
- Diffusion is a passive transport of particles, which means it does not involve use of energy in the form of ATP like the case of active transport.
