Question

A germ line cell (that is about to go into meiosis) with 36 total chromosomes ideally produces how many gametes and will have how many chromosomes each?

Answer 1

A germ line cell with 36 total chromosomes ideally produces four gametes, each with 18 chromosomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the process of meiosis, a germ line cell with 36 total chromosomes ideally produces four gametes. Each gamete will have 18 chromosomes since they are haploid cells containing half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
