Detailed explanation-1: -Through the process of meiotic division, a diploid cell gives rise to four haploid cells. However, during the process of reproduction the haploid cells unite to form a diploid zygote. If any organism has a haploid of 24 chromosomes, the total number of chromosomes in its diploid stage will be 48 chromosomes ( 24x2)
Detailed explanation-2: -This is the right answer as the diploid set of a haploid of 24 chromosomes will be 24×2=48. So, the total number of chromosomes in an organism with a haploid number of 24 chromosomes will be 48.
Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, if the meiocyte of an organism has 24 chromosomes, then the gamete will have 12 chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Assigning genes or genetic elements to chromosomes is an important step when considering how genomes evolved. The monarch butterfly has a reported haploid chromosome number of 30.
