How many pairs of homologous chromosomes would be in an offspring?
Since a somatic cell (body cell) has 2n sets of chromosomes, and a gamete has n sets of chromosomes, then in this case: 18 = n, so 2n = 36. This organism has 36 chromosomes in its somatic cells.
How many possible homologous chromosome alignments are there?
There are 2n possible homologous chromosome alignments, where n is the number of homologous pairs of chromosomes.
Is is an organism or cell with two sets of chromosomes?
An organism or cell with two sets of chromosomes is diploid, meaning it has pairs of homologous chromosomes. In humans, each somatic cell typically contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.
Do all animals share the same number of chromosomes in their cell?
No. The total number of chromosome pairs differs by Organism.
The number of possible genetically different gametes for an organism equals 2N where N is the number of pairs of chromosomes. If an organism has four pairs of chromosomes how many differ?
32
What are 'homologous pairs' of chromosomes?
It means they are the same.Homologous chromosomes (also called homologs or homologues) are chromosome pairs of approximately the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern, with genes for the same characteristics at corresponding loci. One homologous chromosome is inherited from the organism's mother; the other from the organism's father.
Which organism has 20 chromosomes in one of its gametes?
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. During gamete formation, the chromosome number is halved, resulting in gametes with 23 chromosomes. Therefore, the organism that has 20 chromosomes in one of its gametes would not be human.
What cell would a hiploid be?
A haploid cell is a sex-chromosome without pair. A diploid cell is a sex-chromosome with pairs . People have 22 chromosome pairs and 2 chromosomes they do not have pairs. A man has XY chromosomes and a woman XX chromosomes.
In humans what are the chromosome pairs 1 through 22 called?
Chromosome pair 23 in humans is the pair of sex chromosomes. In females, both sex chromosomes are the X sex chromosome, and in human males one sex chromosome is the X and the other is the Y chromosome.
The number of possible genetically different gametes for an organism equals 2N, where N is the number of pairs of chromosomes. If an organism has four pairs of chromosomes, how many different gametes can it produce?
16 (apex)
What can homologous chromosomes be called?
chromosome pairs
Chromosomes pairs and are distributed to sex cells?
chromosome pairs separate
