What might happen if the gametes of a species had
the same number of chromosomes as the species'
body cells?

The chromosome number will not be constant and the person would  die.

Meiosis is the type of cell division that occurs during  reproduction. In

this type of division, the result is the formation of two unique daughter

cells.

Mitosis on the other hand is the cell division concerned with growth and

replacement of worn out tissues in the body.

In instances where the gametes of a species had the same number of

chromosomes as the species' body cells, the species formed will have a

chromosome number which isn't constant which may result in death due to

issues occurring during replication.

The chromosome number will not be constant and the person would die.

Explanation:

During gamete formation, half of the chromosomes arise from one parent and the other half from the other parent. This is possible due to the process of meiosis.

If during gamete formation, the number of chromosome does not get reduced, then after fertilization the gamete will have double the number of chromosomes as compared to the parents. Hence, the chromosome number of the person will not remain constant and he/she would die.

measuring light intensity

light meters can be used to measure light intensity. the meter is held at the soil surface and pointed in the direction of the maximum light intensity, and then the meter is read.

errors can be made when measuring light intensity by accidentally shading the light meter. the reliability of the results can be checked by taking many samples.
