Gametes have how many pairs of chromosomes?
4 |
|
2 |
|
23 |
|
46 |
Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.
An electrically charged atom is a(n):
electron |
|
neutron |
|
proton |
|
ion |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:
reflection |
|
conduction |
|
convection |
|
refraction |
Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.

secondary consumers |
|
tertiary consumers |
|

|
scavengers |
