A.I. response
Our use of A.I. is environmentally friendly!
We do an A.I. search for each question, then store the response to that question on our server. No need to do multiple searches! Repeating the same A.I. request would have a much bigger carbon footprint.

Question 1:

A. 46

Reasoning:
Human body (somatic) cells, such as cheek cells, contain 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). This includes 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes (XX in females, XY in males).


*These A.I. responses have been individually checked to ensure they match the accepted answer, but explanations may still be incorrect. Responses may give guidance but the A.I. might not be able to answer the question! This is particularly the case for questions based on diagrams, which the A.I. typically cannot interpret.
Grade Gorilla uses Gemini, Deepseek and a range of other A.I. chatbots to generate the saved responses. Some answers have had human intervention for clarity or where the A.I. has not been able to answer the question.

Question 2:

The correct answer is:

C. 46

Reasoning:
A foetus is a developing human before birth. Except for gametes (sperm and egg cells), all cells in the human body are diploid, meaning they contain 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). This includes cheek cells from a foetus. A foetus’s cheek cells are somatic cells, so they have the same number of chromosomes as an adult’s cheek cells — 46.

Question 3:

3. Correct Answer: A (K)

Reasoning: Meiosis is the specialized cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half to produce gametes (sperm and egg cells). In the diagram, arrow K shows the transition from adult parents to cells containing 23 chromosomes.

Question 4:

The correct answer is:

D. testis — ovary

Reasoning:
Meiosis is the process that produces gametes (sex cells).

The other options list organs (penis, uterus) where meiosis does not occur.

Question 5:

5. Correct Answer: B (L)

Reasoning: Fertilization is the process where the sperm and egg fuse together. Arrow L shows these two individual gametes joining to form a single Zygote.

Question 6:

6. Correct Answer: D (M and N)

Reasoning: Mitosis is the process of cell division used for growth and repair, where daughter cells are identical to the parent cell. This occurs after a zygote is formed, allowing it to grow into a foetus (M) and continue growing into a young child (N).

Question 7:

The correct answer is:

C. XY

Reasoning:
In humans, sex is determined by the combination of sex chromosomes:

Thus, the presence of a Y chromosome (as in XY) indicates a male.

Question 8:

Let's fill in the Punnett square correctly first.

We have:

The Punnett square:

male X male Y
female i ii
X XX XY
female iii iv
X XX XY

So:

Now check given table options:

A. i — male, XX → wrong, XX is female ❌
B. ii — male, XY → correct ✅
C. iii — male, XX → wrong, XX is female ❌
D. iv — female, XY → wrong, XY is male ❌

Final answer: B. ii — male, XY ✅

Question 9:

The correct answer is:

C. 50%

Reasoning:
The sex of a baby is determined by whether the sperm that fertilizes the egg carries an X or a Y chromosome.

Previous children do not affect the probability of the next child’s sex — each pregnancy is an independent event.

So, even after having a boy, the chance the next baby is a boy remains 50%.
