Answer:
16
Explanation:
Gametes are universally haploid (n) and are produce as a result of meiosis in the diploid (2n) reproductive cells. Organs (testes and ovary) produce gametes. Meiosis is a type of cell division by which chromosome number is reduced to half. In the given question, a muscle cell of a typical organism has 32 chromosomes. This means the reproductive cells of the said organisms also have 32 chromosomes. Meiosis in the reductive will form gametes with 16 chromosomes. Meiosis reduces the chromosomes to half.
For a typical organism whose muscle cell consist of 32 chromosomes, the number of chromosome that will be found in the gamete of the organism is:
B. 16
Recall the following:
- Organs like the testes and ovary consist of reproductive cells. These cells undergo meiosis to gametes with a chromosome number denoted as (n).
- Gametes are therefore haploid (n).
- The chromosome number during the production of gametes via meiosis becomes half. (see image illustrating the steps in meiosis)
Therefore, for a typical organism whose muscle cell consist of 32 chromosomes, the number of chromosome that will be found in the gamete of the organism is:
B. 16
