This fly has 14 chromosomes in its cells.7 maternal chromosomes and 7 paternal chromosomes. Assume you are a microscopist viewing this fly cells that are undergoing meiosis. Conclude the number of chromosomes/chromatids at the end of meiosis 1 as well at the end of meiosis 2

23 pairs in meiosis 1 and 23 numbers in meiosis 2.

Explanation:

There are diploid number of chromosomes means double number of chromosomes at the end of meiosis 1 while on the other hand, at the end of meiosis 2, there are haploid number of chromosome means half number of chromosomes in each daughter cell. In humans meiosis 1, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes that is diploid in nature but in the end of meiosis 2, there are only 23 chromosomes in each daughter cell which is haploid in nature.

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
