Solution

The correct option is D 36
The haploid number (n) of chromosomes in gametes is one-half the diploid number (2n) of chromosomes in the somatic cells of organisms of the same species. Therefore, total number of chromosomes in an organism would be 36 (18*2).
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
