A mosquito has a diploid number of 6. How many chromosomes are in the sperm of a mosquito? 3
6
12
24

3

Explanation:

Cells contributing to the structure of the mosquito's stomach are non-sex cells, and are therefore diploid, so the number of chromosomes would be 6.

Sperm cells, being gametes, are haploid, so the number of chromosomes present in a sperm cell is 3.

try using substitution:

x + y - 6 = x - y. (i'm not giving you the exact answer). since 0 = x - y, then sub 0 in the equation with x - y. combine your like terms, and then use inverse operations, and you'll have your answer.

blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. this is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
