Question

if the number of chromosomes in a female parent is 40 how many chromosome will get transferred to the offspring ? ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

23 is the answer to this question

Answer 2

Organisms with multiples of the basic chromosome set are called euploid. We learned in earlier chapters that familiar eukaryotes such as plants, animals, and fungi carry in their cells either one chromosome set (haploid) or two sets (diploid). In these species, the haploid and diploid states are both cases of normal euploidy. Organisms that have more or less than the normal number of sets are aberrant euploids. Polyploids are individual organisms in which there are more than two chromosome sets. They can be represented by 3n (triploid), 4n (tetraploid), 5n (pentaploid), 6n (hexaploid), and so forth. (Recall that the number of sets is called the ploidy or ploidy level.) In essentially diploid taxa, an individual organism with only one chromosome set (n) is called a monoploid to distinguish it from species in which all individuals are normally haploid (also n). Examples of these conditions are shown in Table 8-1.
