An ancient plant called horsetail contains 216 chromosomes. how many homologous pairs of chromosomes does it contain? how many chromosomes are present in its cells during metaphase?

The answers respectively are 108 and 216.

Explanation:

According to the information given in the question, the plant called horsetail has cells that contain 216 chromosomes. They must contain 108 homologous pairs of chromosomes and provided that they are not reproductive cells, during metaphase the replication of the DNA is yet to start so they contain 216 chromosomes in the cells.

I hope this answer helps.

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
