1. If an organism's diploid number is 14, how many unique possible combinations of chromosomes can be inherited in the generated haploid reproductive cells? explain your answer.
128
512
7
14
28
Given the haploid number of chromosomes (n) , the number of possible combinations in of chromosomes that can be inherited in the generated haploid reproductive cells or gametes can be calculated by the equation 2n. For example, in a diploid cell with 4 chromosomes (n=2) so the number of chromosome combination is 22 or 4.
Applying the formula in the question
here , 2n=14
n=7
2n=27=128
Answer is 128
