If the gametes produced by a given organism contain 6 chromosomes, how many chromosomes are found in that organism's body cells? (4 points) 3 6 12 10
hi
gamete are reproduction cells. They carry only half of the DNA materials
for the merger with an other gamete celle from the opposite sex.
so if a gamete carries 6 chromosomes, normal load of other cells is 12
If the gametes of a given organism contain only 6 chromosomes then in that same organism's body cells, the number of chromosomes will be 12. Thus, the correct option is C.
What are Chromosomes?A chromosome is a long molecule of DNA with some part of it or all of the genetic material of an organism. Most of the eukaryotic chromosomes contain packaging proteins called histone proteins which are aided by chaperone proteins in the nucleus, that bind to and condense the DNA molecules present in the nucleus to maintain its integrity. The DNA molecule is a long thread which is several meters in length.
The chromosome content of gamete cells is half than the parent cell. It is because they are produced from meiosis. The male and female gametes combine in fertilization to form the zygote which is diploid (2n). Here, the chromosomal content of gametes is 6 i.e., haploid (n) thus the chromosomal content of body cells will be 12 (2n).
Therefore, the correct option is C.

Which of the following statements is true regarding active transport?
A. It does not use any of its own energy.
B. It uses some of its own energy.
C. It uses energy from other cells.
D. It uses the energy stored mainly in the nucleus.
Answer:
I think c
Explanation:
active transport uses energy from ATP which is not found in the nucleus. so we know it uses energy which is not it's own and ATP is not apart of the nucleus so that leaves c
In a paramecium, the nucleus divides first and then the cytoplasm divides, forming two identical daughter cells. Which type of reproduction takes place in paramecia?
Answer:
This type of reproduction is called binary fission.
Explanation:
Binary fission is a type of reproduction in paramecium that involves producing two identical daughter cells from one mother cell. These daughter cells are called clones, and are not genetically distinct from their progenitor. No genetic exchange is involved and they are genetically indequingishable.
The resulting DNA is identical to the original copy and newly copied chromosomes separate into two identical daughter cells with the same chromosome number. All offspring remain identical.
List three types of fertilization with a description.
Answer:
oviparity, ovoviparity, and viviparity
Explanation:
oviparity- expulsion of undeveloped eggs rather than live young. The eggs may have been fertilized before release, as in birds and some reptiles, or are to be fertilized externally, as in amphibians and many lower forms.
ovoviparity-embryos develop inside eggs that remain in the mother's body until they are ready to hatch.
viviparity- , retention and growth of the fertilized egg within the maternal body until the young animal, as a larva or newborn, is capable of independent existence
Answer:
Oviparity- fertilized eggs are laid outside the females body and develop there.
ovoiparity- eggs that have been fertilized before being released.
viviparity- development of embroy inside the mother

Natural selection refers to all of the following EXCEPT
Answer:
Darwin proposed the theory of natural selection to explain the process of evolution. According to Darwin’s theory of natural selection, all organisms have the potential to reproduce limitlessly irrespective of the fact that each species maintain a constant density over time. However, the struggle for existence, i.e. the competition among individuals for available resources to survive and reproduce, put a check on species density (D) and maintains it at a constant level (B). Survival of fittest is unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce based on suitability of their inherited characters to prevailing environmental conditions (A). It imparts the reproductive advantage to certain organisms which account for major part of the gene pool of the species. Thus, natural selection favors the individual with survival and/or reproductive advantage over others under existing environmental condition (E). Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Answer:
This question is incomplete
Explanation:
This question is incomplete but there are some general facts that can be made.
Firstly, mitosis only occurs in meristematic tissue of plants which includes apical and lateral meristems
There are 4 phases in a cell cycle
1) G1 (gap 1) phase: This is the first phase of the cell cycle that has to do with an increase in the size of the cell. Major cellular components duplicate in size here.
2) S-phase: DNA replication occurs here.
3) G2 (gap 2) phase: This is the gap phase that comes after the S-phase. The cell undergoes further growth here and the organelles of the cells are also prepared for cell division.
4) Mitotic phase: There are four stages here
i) prophase: Chromosome condenses and becomes visible at this stage. And there is the emergence of spindle fibre from centrosomes.
ii) metaphase: Spindle fibre develops and sister chromatids are attached to
separate spindle.
iii) anaphase: Cohesin, which holds two sister chromatids (of chromosomes) together, breaks down and are pulled towards opposite poles.
iv) telophase: Chromosomes begins to decondense at opposite poles and actual cell division starts as mitotic spindle breaks down.

The products of cellular respiration are of photosynthesis 0 products O unrelated O reactants O depends on the process
Answer:
reactantsExplanation:
Respiration is a catabolic process that releases energy from chemical bonds within carbohydrates. It occurs in mitochondria for aerobic processes, and produces carbon dioxide and water, and uses O2 and glucose as reactants...
C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP
Photosynthesis is a form of biosynthesis in producers such as plants, bacteria and fungi- they convert solar energy into stable chemical energy. The process uses the products of respiration in biosynthesis...
6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2
The reactions are cyclic- they feed into each other.

What is the most important topographic feature of the ocean floor? Why?
Answer:
hi
Explanation:
The important features are the extensive continental shelves less than 250 m deep (pink); the vast deep ocean plains between 4,000 and 6,000 m deep (light and dark blue); the mid-Atlantic ridge, in many areas shallower than 3,000 m; and the deep ocean trench north of Puerto Rico (8,600 m).
how the structures of the different chambers and vessels of the heart relate to their functions.
Answer:
Explanation:
The heart can be found at the center of the chest, underneath the sternum in a thoracic compartment. It is made up of four chambers and several valves that regulate the normal flow of blood within the body.
Two chambers called atria are located in the upper portion of the heart and receive oxygen-free blood. The valves that separate these chambers are called atrioventricular valves which is composed of the tricuspid valve on the left and the mitral valve on the right.
On the other hand, ventricles are chambers found on the lower portion of the heart; they pump oxygen-enriched blood into all organs of the body, reaching even the smallest cells. Similar to the atria, the ventricular chambers are also separated by valves. Collectively-termed as semilunar valves, these are comprised of the pulmonary and aortic valve.
The heart also has a wall that is composed of three layers: the outer layer epicardium (thin layer), the middle layer myocardium (thick layer), and the innermost layer endocardium (thin layer). The myocardium is think because it is made up of cardiac muscle fibers.
The structure of the heart is made more complex because of the mechanisms that allow blood to be distributed throughout the body and to return into the heart. Facilitating this continuous process are two types of blood vessels: veins and arteries (16jacktwinwritters). The vessels that bring oxygen-free blood back into the heart are called veins; those that bring oxygen-rich blood away from the heart and to other body parts are called arteries. Functioning in the left ventricle, the largest artery is called aorta. The aorta is considered a main artery in the body. It further splits into two smaller arteries called common iliac arteries.
With regular functioning, the heart is continuously able to supply sufficient amount of oxygen to all parts of the body.
