Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Haploid means 1 set of chromosomes, so if a diploid Parent cell has 64 chromosomes then a Haploid daughter cell will have ____
A
32
B
64
C
16
D
128
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: Given, Diploid number is 64 . Diploid number (2n)=64 . Now, haploid number (n) is half of the diploid number.

Detailed explanation-2: –Number of Chromatids is 64 since its replication of chromosomes and cell has split so, n (haploid) so the number of chromosomes would be 32.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. Haploid refers to the presence of a single set of chromosomes in an organism’s cells. Sexually reproducing organisms are diploid (having two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent). In humans, only the egg and sperm cells are haploid.

Detailed explanation-4: -Humans have 46 chromosomes in each diploid cell. Among those, there are two sex-determining chromosomes, and 22 pairs of autosomal, or non-sex, chromosomes. The total number of chromosomes in diploid cells is described as 2n, which is twice the number of chromosomes in a haploid cell (n).
