Question

If 2n=40 in an organism, what would be the number of chromosome in its meiocytes

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer to this question is 40

Explanation:

It is due to the fact that meiocytes are diploid. The number of chromosomes is typical for any given species. In an asexually reproducing organism, the chromosome number will always be the same.

In sexually reproducing species, the chromosome number is typically diploid, i.e., 2n or a pair of each chromosome. Hence, twice the haploid or 1n number is found gametes. At the time of meiosis, the haploid number takes place.
