If you started with a cell with four chromosomes, what would happen if sexual reproduction took place for four generations using diploid (2n) cells instead of haploid cells (n)?
(In other words, how many chromosomes would the cells have after four generations without meiosis?).

Sexual reproduction follows meiosis cell division . this is two step process in which one round of replication occurs and two round of cell division occurs. by which chromosomes are converted to haploid state(n) instead of diploid(2n) state.

when two haploid cells are sexually matted, one diploid(2n) zygote cells are produced.

hare no haploid cells are produced rather diploid cells are matted. So, the chromosome no. of zygote will be doubled after each generation.

so, after 4 generation their will be 64 chromosome.
