Question

Question 4.4. The diagram below INCORRECTLY shows the number of chromosomes for the individuals and the cells they produce by meiosis. Which statement below explains the problem with the 3.30 TYK Q4diagram?


Meiosis produces haploid gametes, so the chromosome number shown for the egg cell and sperm cell should be half the number of chromosomes as in the parents’ cells.
The diploid number of a zygote is always 2n, so the number of chromosomes shown for the zygote should be 96.
Meiosis produces diploid gametes, so the chromosome number shown for the zygote sh

Answer 1

What do you think it should be?

Answer 2

Gametogenesis (formation of gametes) occurs by meiosis which is a reductional division (reduces the number of chromosome by half) so the number of chromosomes in the gametes should be half to that of parent cell.
