Question

what would be the number of chromosomes in the meiocyte and gamete of onion?​

Answer 1

The number of chromosomes in diploid cell of onion is 16 and thus MEIOCYTE WILL HAVE 16 CHROMOSOMES.

Now the number of chromosomes in gametes is always haploid and therefore GAMETES WILL HAVE 8 CHROMOSOMES.

Answer 2

Answer:

A chromosome is a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule with part or all of the genetic material (genome) of an organism. Most eukaryotic chromosomes include packaging proteins which, aided by chaperone proteins, bind to and condense the DNA molecule to prevent it from becoming an unmanageable tangle.
