A diploid cell has two pairs of homologous chromosomes. How many different combinations of chromosomes could there be in the gametes?

Answered by admin @



Answer;

There will be 4 different combination of chromosomes

Explanation;

  • A diploid cell is a cell that contains two sets of each chromosomes; thus a diploid cell with two pairs of homologous chromosomes has four chromosomes.
  • Gametes are produced through meiosis which is the type of cell division in which a parent cells divides into four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent, that is the cell are haploid.
  • Therefore, a diploid cell with two pair of homologous chromosomes will produce four haploid cells after meiosis each with two chromosomes.
