Question

Compared to the number of chromosomes contained in a body cell, how many chromosomes would normally be contained in a gamete? 1 point A. The same number B. Twice as many C. 1/4th as many D. Half as many

Answer 1

Answer:

where as the gamete chromosome is haploid and is represented as "n"

Thus, chromosome number in gamete is just the half of the chromosome number of parent.

Hence, option D is correct
