Which of the following is true of a species that has a chromosome number of 2n = 16? A) The species is diploid with 32 chromosomes per cell.
B) The species has 16 sets of chromosomes per cell.
C) Each cell has eight homologous pairs.
D) During the S phase of the cell cycle there will be 32 separate chromosomes.
E) A gamete from this species has four chromosomes.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer is C) Each cell has eight homologous pairs. 

n is the number of chromosome sets. If a species has a chromosome number of 2n = 16, that means there are 16 chromosomes in diploid cell. A diploid cell contains two sets (2n) of chromosomes. A haploid cell (gamete) contains one set of chromosomes, which is 8 chromosomes.
Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

For a species with a chromosome number of 2n=16, each cell has eight pairs of homologous chromosomes. There are not 32 chromosomes, 16 sets, or four chromosomes in a gamete.

Explanation:

In biology, the chromosome number 2n=16 indicates that the organism is diploid and has 16 total chromosomes, which are organized into 8 homologous pairs. So, the correct answer is option C) Each cell has eight homologous pairs. The number 16 (2n) represents the total number of chromosomes, not how many sets there are, making option B incorrect. One should not interpret this to mean there are 32 chromosomes in total, so option A is also incorrect. During S phase of the cell cycle DNA replication happens, but this doesn't change the number of chromosomes, just the number of DNA molecules, therefore, option D isn't right. Lastly, a gamete (sex cell) from this species would have n=8, or half the number of chromosomes, contradicting option E.

What is climate forcing?
I need a short answer

Answers

Answer:

Changes to Earth's radiative equilibrium that cause temperatures to rise or fall over decadal periods are called climate forcings.

Explanation:

Is this short enough?

Climate forcing is the process of affecting/changing the climate on the Earth through forcing factors.

These forcing factors are out of the climate system, and include things like volcanic eruptions, changing solar radiation levels, and changing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

What is the difference between organism and biodiversity

Answers

All organisms are capable of responding to stimuli, reproducing, growth, development, and homeostasis. 
Biodiversity, or biological diversity, is the variety of life on earth. It is the variety between plants, animals, micro-organisms, and the ecosystems where they live.

Which word belongs in a different group than the group below?brain, glands, motor neuron, movement, muscles, sensory neuron, stimuli

brain
motor neuron
glands
stimuli

Answers

Answer:

In the group of a brain, motor neuron, glands, and stimuli, the glands can be considered as an odd one out.

It is because the brain, motor neuron, and stimuli come under a common biological system which is termed as a nervous system.

A nervous system is a network or complex of nerve cells that perform the function of transmitting nerve impulses from one body part to another.

It consists of a brain, spinal cord, and different types of nerve cells (such as sensory nerves, motor nerves et cetera).

In contrast, a gland is defined as an organ of cells which synthesize and release chemical substances (such as hormones, enzymes et cetera) either into the bloodstream (endocrine glands) or into the body cavities (exocrine gland).

Thus, the gland can be considered as the odd one out.

Can cells survive without support of other cells?

Answers

Answer: There are literally countless single celled life forms all over the planet and every creature living is the descendant of single celled organisms. So the answer to your question as written is no, a cell can survive perfectly fine on its own, without the support of other cells, so long as its in a favorable environment.

Explanation:

Answer: No

Cells in bodies of living organisms are designed to help one another, so cells can not live/survive without support of other cells. They work in unity to help our body.

Which statement about stomata is true?A.)The number of stomata is greater on the upper surface of the leaf.

B.)The number of stomata is greater on the lower surface of the leaf.

C.)The number of stomata is equal on both surfaces of the leaf.

Answers

The answer is B. The number of stomata is more on the lower surface of the leaf. The primary function of the stomata is to regulate moisture loss from the plant. The upper surface of the leaf is more exposed to the air and sunshine thus water is more susceptible to evaporation. However, the stomata is abundant on the lower surface, the location of it helps the plants to conserve more water
