Question

a diploid organism would have ___ total chromosomes, while its haploid gametes would have ____ total chromosomes.

A.60, 30

B.4, 8

C.15, 30

D. 4, 4

Answer 1

solution

Ans.(A).60,30

Gametes are formed through a process of cell division called meiosis. This two-step division process produces four haploid daughter cells. Haploid cells contain only one set of chromosomes.

For example

If Deploid cell have a 60 chromosomes, when it devided by Meiosis it forms a haploid gamets which have a 30 chromosomes

that means in gamets, chromosome numbers always half of Deploid cells.

if Deploid cell is (2n) then gemets is (n). Because Deploid cell devide by meiosis.
