Question

What will be the gametic chromosome number of a cell if somatic cell have 40 chromosomes?

Answer 1

Gametic Chromosome number

1. In meiosis, the equal division produces gametes.
2. So, a gametic cell will have half the amount of chromosomes as a somatic cell.
3. As a result, if the somatic cell has 40 (2n) chromosomes, the haploid gametes will have 20 (n).
