Because of the process of crossing over that occurs during prophase I, and also because the child inherits half of its chromosomes from its mother and half from its father.

If a male homozygous for the normal gene order and a female homozygous for an inversion mutation had a child the child would have what type or types of chromosomes?

The child would inherit one set of chromosomes from each parent. Since the male is homozygous for the normal gene order, he will pass on a normal chromosome set. The female, being homozygous for the inversion mutation, will pass on chromosomes that carry the inversion. As a result, the child will have one set of normal chromosomes and one set with the inversion mutation, leading to a genotype that is heterozygous for the inversion.


What does Each child inherits a set of chromosomes?

Each child inherits a set of chromosomes from their parents, with half coming from the mother and half from the father. These chromosomes contain genetic information in the form of DNA, which determines various traits and characteristics. In humans, there are typically 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs. This genetic inheritance plays a crucial role in shaping an individual's physical appearance, health, and many other traits.


After fertilization, how much of the chromosomes of both the sperm cell and the egg cell does the zygote have?

The zygote would be diploid because the sex cell would have 46 chromosomes instead of 23 (2n instead of n) and the chromosomes would keep on multiplying in each generation. Ex: child would have 92 chromosomes and that child's child would have 184, etc-Anonymous Mamba


How many chromosomes are there in one set of chromosomes in lilium?

2n= 24 therefore one set consists of 12 chromosomes.


Offspring gets what number of chromosomes?

44 ^Incorrect. I assume you're talking about humans, in which case a healthy child will have 46 chromosomes. There are 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and the 2 sex ones (XX or XY).

How can there be indentical twins in triplets?

If a woman has two eggs that are fertilized and one of those eggs split, you will get one unique set of chromosomes and a pair of identical chromosomes.


What is a monoploid number?

A monoploid number refers to the number of unique chromosomes in a cell, typically represented as "n." It is a haploid set of chromosomes present in a cell, as opposed to the full diploid set found in most cells. Monoploid numbers are commonly found in gamete cells of organisms.


How many unique gametes can be produced via assortment for an organism with a diploid number of 6 chromosomes?

When a zygote is diploid it obtains two sets of chromosomes. Gametes contain one set of chromosomes. Therefore, 6 chromosomes would amount to 3 sets of gametes.

How do chromosomes in the body cell compared with chromosomes in a fertilized egg?

Chromosomes in a body cell are typically in pairs (diploid), with one set inherited from each parent. In contrast, chromosomes in a fertilized egg are also in pairs, but contain a unique combination of genetic material formed from the genetic contributions of both the egg and sperm, resulting in a single set of chromosomes (haploid) in the fertilized egg.


In a data set can there be two of the same z scores?

Every unique value has a unique distance from the mean, which leads to a unique z-score.

How many sets of genes do a child inherts?

A child inherits two sets of chromosomes which contain the genes. One member of each set comes from each parent.
