How many chromosomes do bananas have?

No. Wild and cultivated bananas have a basic haploid number of 11. The human haploid number is 23. In banana cultivation and breeding, people have developed triploids and tetraploids. Some scientists think that the banana's haploid number of 11 evolved from an earlier number of 8.


How many chromosomes are in a polyploid?

A polyploid organism has more than two complete sets of chromosomes. The number of chromosomes in a polyploid can vary widely depending on the species and type of polyploidy; for example, a triploid has three sets (3n), a tetraploid has four sets (4n), and so on. Therefore, the total number of chromosomes in a polyploid is a multiple of the basic chromosome set of that species.


How many chromosomes should a normal karyotype contain?

A karyotype will consist of all the homologous pairs of chromosomes and also one pair of chromosomes representing the sex of the organism (male/female). In Humans, a karyotype will consist of 22 homologous pairs of chromosomes and 1 pair of either XX or XY chromosomes. The total number of homologous pairs of chromosomes depends largely upon which organism is being taken into account, since each organism has its characteristic number of chromosomes in a diploid cell - in humans this is 46.


When is the chromosomes number reduced from 46 to 23?

During the Prophase stage of Meiosis, rather than Mitosis, chromosomes are split from 46 to 23. Meiosis is the same basic process as Mitosis, yet is what occurs in gametes rather than other non-gamete cells.


What best describes the pH number indicates about a solution?

pH is related to the activity of ions H+ in a solution. A pH under 7 is acidic, pH=7 is neutral and a pH over 7 is basic.

What sex chromosomes are find in male?

Buddy, you should learn your basic grammar before asking about chromosomes...


What pH is considered basic?

pH numbers range form 1 (highly acidic) to 14 (highly basic) 7 is neutral. Any number higher than 7 indicates a base.

Why does the higher the number on the pH scale mean?

A higher number on the pH scale indicates a more basic or alkaline solution. It means there are fewer hydrogen ions present in the solution, making it less acidic. pH values above 7 are considered basic.


What quanity can tell you whether a solution is acidic or basic?

The pH value of a solution indicates whether it is acidic or basic. A pH below 7 indicates acidity, while a pH above 7 indicates alkalinity (basicity).
