if an organism has a diploid number of 12, how many possible combinations of chromosomes could exist in its gametes with no crossing over?

a.) 8
b.)16
c.)32
d.)64

Respuesta :

Answer: D

Explanation:

Chromosomes are the inherited unit of the organism which transfers the parental gene to the offspring.

The diploid is the paired chromosome quantity present in the cell that originates from each parent.

The correct answer is:

Option D. 64

This can be explained as:

  • The diploid (2n) number of chromosomes = 12

  • Haploid (n) number of chromosome = 6

  • The possible number of chromosome pairs is given by 2ⁿ. Where n = a haploid number of chromosomes.

So, the possible combinations of chromosomes that could be found in the gametes with no crossing over will be:

= 2⁶

= 64

Therefore, 64 possible combinations of chromosomes can be present.
