Answer 2

Hello Dear,

◆ Answer -

Male gamete of butterfly will have 190 chromosomes.

● Explanation -

Meiocytes of are butterfly are diploid i.e. 2n number while male gametes of butterfly are haploid i.e. n number.

Thus, male gamete will have half the number of chromosomes the meiocyte has.

Hence, chromosomes in male gametes will be 380/2 = 190 in number.
