The chromosomes with the same gene content, size, and shape in diploid organism is called homologous chromosomes. The set of chromosome each came from maternal and paternal 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)


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.


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


Where does an organism receive its chromosomes from?

An organisms gets its chromosomes from its parent(s).


How may chromosomes does sperm cells have?

Well, every species is different as different species have different numbers of chromosomes. So it would depend on the organism. But, if you are asking about humans. Humans have 46 chromosomes. So a human sperm would have 23 chromosomes.
