we have given that the weight of an apple is 2.8 gm.
we have to find the number of gametes produce by apple grandfather.
solution : this question is very easy if you know the concepts of gametes.
so what is gametes ?
gametes are reproductive cells of an organism. in the other word, these are sex cells, in male these are called sperm and in female these are called ova or egg cells. gametes are haploid structure. it means, half of the no of individual's chromosomes are gametes.
human has 46 chromosomes so gametes of human have 23 chromosomes.
one more point should be noted that gametes fuse to form zygote. so the fusion of gametes is known as fertilization.
now come to the question.
apple has 34 chromosomes. so the number of gametes will be 34/2 = 17.
[note : here weight of apple is unnecessary. it has given just to make you confuse. ]
