Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A cloned hamster has a diploid chromosome number of 42.
Detailed explanation-2: -A diploid somatic cell of rat has a total of 42 chromosomes (2n = 42). What will be the number of DNA molecules in anaphase of mitosis?
Detailed explanation-3: -The diploid number can be calculated by multiplying the haploid number by 2. The variable ‘N’ represents the number of chromosomes in the genome. Thus, the haploid number of chromosomes is equal to N. The diploid number of chromosomes is equal to 2N.
Detailed explanation-4: -In this example, a diploid body cell contains 2n = 4 chromosomes, 2 from mom and two from dad.
