If carrots have a diploid number of 18, then the haploid number is ____
|
|
3
|
|
|
9
|
|
|
24
|
|
|
36

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The basic chromosome number of carrots is 9–11. Most cultivated carrots are diploid (2n = 2x = 18).
Detailed explanation-2: -The total number of chromosomes is referred to as the chromosome number. The haploid number in humans is given as 2n=46, n = 23, this is because the haploid human cells possess one set of 23 chromosomes – 22 sets of autosomal chromosomes (non-sex chromosomes) and 1 set of sex chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-3: -A cell with 2N=8 refers to a diploid cell that contains 8 chromosomes, in which 4 chromosomes are coming from the father and 4 chromosomes are coming from the mother. Therefore, there are 4 pairs of homologous chromosomes in this cell.
