A) 04 and 04
B) 10 and 10
C) 12 and 12
D) 23 and 24​

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 12 and 12 is the answer.

Explanation: Males have a total of 23 chromosomes seen as 22 + XO as sex chromosomes. So, the haploid number will still have 12 as they could be inherited as 11+X. Hence the number of linkage groups in a male grasshopper is 12. Female grasshoppers have a total of 24 chromosomes seen as 22+XX. But since they have two similar sex chromosomes , it is considered as one. Therefore linkage group in a Female grasshopper is also 12.
