Detailed explanation-1: -If the diploid chromosome number for a house fly is 12, the haploid number of chromosomes found in their gametes would be half, or six. Q. Q. Male gametes in diploid maize plants have 10 chromosomes in their nucleus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes than diploids, the haploid number of chromosomes for a cell whose diploid counterpart has a diploid number of 12 would be 6 (12/2=6).
Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, the correct answer is option ‘The fly’s haploid number is 6’.
Detailed explanation-4: -If an organism’s haploid number is 6, its diploid number is 3.
Detailed explanation-5: -Number of chromosomes in meiocytes in house fly is 12 and the number of chromosomes in gametes(n) is 6.
