6. A dogfish shark contains 24 chromosomes in each of its muscle cells. How many chromosomes are normally found in each of its gametes?
(1) 6 (2) 12 (3) 24 (4)48

Respuesta :

The answer would me 12, because the game red (sex cells) carry half the amount the chromosomes that a normal cell would have, so offsprings won’t have chromosome abnormality (since it receives chromosomes from two parents they can only receive half the normal amount from each parent so the number of chromosomes don’t double).

The study of the chromosome is called kymograph.

The correct answer of the following is B which is the 12 chromosome.

What is a chromosome?

  • The chromosome is defined as the long thread-like structure which has all the genetic information stored in it.

  • During the time of gamete formation, the pair of chromosomes and chromosome splits in half, which is stated as gametes.

According to the question, the shark has 24 chromosomes, and during the gamete formation, the chromosome splits in half and has 12 chromosomes in the gamete.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
