Answer:
Egg apparatus contains two sets of chromosomes.
Explanation:
Let's go by the definition of specific heat for a substance, "It is the amount of thermal energy that must be supplied(or removed) to(or from) unit mass of a substance to bring a change in its temperature by a unit degree."
In general the amount of thermal energy(or heat transferred) that would be required to accomplish the objective would be different based on the kind of process executed by the system(substance).
The general mathematical expression for the above statement could be written as,
Q=m CnΔT
where 'Q' represents the amount of thermal energy(or heat) transferred to or from the system(substance),'m' the mass of the system and ' ΔT ' the change in temperature and ' Cn ' the specific heat of the substance for a given process denoted by 'n'.
For unit mass of a substance undergoing a unit change in temperature following a particular process the amount of heat transferred is exactly equal to specific heat of the substance for that process.
For an isothermal process we must have ΔT =0 so that from the relation formulated above we have, Cisothermal =undefined.
Specific heat for an isothermal process is essentially 'not defined' as temperature must remain constant after all!
For an adiabatic process we have q=0( q=(Qm) ) so that Cadiabatic =0.
