Question

5) If a body cell contains 50 chromosomes, how many
will exist in its gametes?
25

Answer 1

25

Step-by-step explanation:

gametes are haploid cells and body cells are diploid. when a diploid cell undergo meiosis it will produce haploid gametes with half number of chromosomes. in this case body cell has 50 chromosomes so their gametes have only 25 chromosomes.
