  1. What is the other name
    given to sex chromosomes?
    What is the function of sex
    chromosomes?


Sex chromosomallosomes (the other chromosomes are also calledes that (^)
are not sex chrautosomes). omosomes are called
Sex chromosombecause they have genes thates get such name
determine the sex (male or female) of
an individual. Shave genes related ex chromosomto other biologicales also (^)
functions.



  1. How many chromosomes
    does a human normal haploid
    cell have? How many
    chromosomes does a human
    normal diploid cell have? How
    many are the sex
    chromosomes within each of
    them?


The human haploid cell is the gamete
(egg cell agamete has 22 and sperm cell). The humanutosomes and 1
allosome, i.e., 23 chromosomes. The
diploid cell is the somatic44 autosomes and 2 allosomes, i. cell and it hase., 46
chromosomes.


Gametes have one sex chromosome and
somaticchromosomes. cells have two sex


  1. Do phylogenetically
    proximal species have cells
    with proximal chromosome
    counts?
    The number of chromeach species is proximal fosomes typicalor of
    phylogenetically proximal species (for


example, chimpanzee and human). But it is notorangutan, gorilla, (^)

species, like rat akaryotypes and the same total nnd oat, bears similarumber (^)
of chromosomes.
Even presentinchromosomes eg equal number ofvolutionary distant (^)
species havcharacteristicse radically since th differente quantity (^) and
the sequence of nucleotides that
compose thare quite different.eir respective DNA molecules



  1. What is the nucleolus?
    The nucleolus is a small and optically
    dense region in the interior nucleus. It is made of ribosomicof the cell RNA
    (rRNA) and proteins. One nucleus can
    have one or more nucleolus.

  2. Of which structures is the
    nuclear membrane composed?
