2) 9 bivalents can be observed if there are 36 chromosomes in a diploid cell.
Number of bivalents = 36/4
= 9
- Bivalents can be calculated by dividing the number of chromosomes by four.
- A bivalent is one pair of chromosomes in a tetrad. A tetrad is the association of a pair of homologous chromosomes physically held together by at least one DNA crossover.
- Diploid is a cell or organism that has paired chromosomes, one from each parent.
