Question

Find the correct match from the following:
$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Column A}& \text{Column B}\\ \text{1. Male gamete}& \text{a. 46 chromosomes}\\ \text{2. Female gamete}& \text{b. Sperm}\\ \text{3. Diploid human cell}& \text{c. Chromosome number reduced to half}\\ \text{4. Meiosis}& \text{d. Egg}\end{array}$

• A. 1-b, 2-a, 3-d, 4-c
• B. 1-b, 2-d, 3-a, 4-c
• C. 1-d, 2-a, 3-b, 4-c
• D. 1-d, 2-b, 3-a, 4-c

Answer 1

The correct option is B

1-b, 2-d, 3-a, 4-c

Male gametes are the sperm cells whereas the female gametes are the eggs. In a diploid human cell, there are 46 chromosomes. After meiosis, chromosome number reduces to half.
