In diploid sexually reproducing organisms the diploid number of chromosomes is a) the number of chromosomes in a typical somatic cell (i. e. a liver cell) b) half the number of chromosomes in a somatic cell c) the number of pairs of homologous chromosomes in a somatic cell d) the number of chromosomes in a gamete e) the number of pairs of homologous chromosomes in a gamete.

e) the number of pairs of homologous chromosomes in a gamete.

Explanation:

A diploid cell is defined as the the cell containing two complete set of homologous chromosomes in a gamete.

In humans or other diploid sexually reproducing organism, sperm get fertilised with egg and produces  a gamete with two haploid sets of chromosomes form a complete diploid set.A human diploid cell has 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs.

Hence, the correct option is e)

i'm thinking (a) to keep sand in place; ////////////

explanation: a sand fence or sandbreak, like a snow fence, is used to force windblown, drifting sand to accumulate in a desired place. sand fences are employed to control erosion, sand dune stabilization, keep sand off roadways, and to recruit new material in desert areas.

well, since there is no answer choices, i will give an answer on how it works : )

the two objects are placed together. energy will always be transferred from the hotter object to the cooler object until they are equal. hope this is close to one of the answer choices : )
