Answer:

The increment of temperatures favors the oxidation of fatty acids promoting the saturation of them.

Explanation:

When the fatty acids are in an environment of high temperatures they start oxidizing so unsaturations start to spontaneously happen. This process happens in cell membranes as well as in the foods. Saturated fatty acids are more prejudicial to health than unsaturated ones.

Answer:

Explanation:

I am assuming that this organism reproduces sexually. The body cell of the offspring will be the same as the parent. The reproductive cell of the organism will have half the amount of chromosomes as the body cell.

So if the parent has 8 chromosomes in its body cells then the offspring will have 8 chromosomes in its body cells.
