Question

how many different combination of paternal and maternal chromosomes can be bundled in gametes made by an organism with a diploid number of 16 (2n=16)?

Answer 1

$\huge{\mathcal{\purple{A}\green{N}\pink{S}\blue{W}\purple{E}\green{R}\pink{!}}}$

$\huge\mathcal{\red{\underline{\purple{\boxed{\pink{256}}}}}}$

Number of different combination =

${2}^{n}$

2n = 16

n = 8

${2}^{8} = 256$

$\huge{\mathcal{\purple{T}\green{H}\pink{A}\blue{N}\purple{K}\green{S}\pink{!}}}$

Answer 2

$\huge{ \underline{ \bold{ᴀɴsᴡᴇʀ....{ \heartsuit}}}}$

256____❤
