Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Pandas have 30 chromosomes in their somatic cells, how many chromosomes would there be in their gametes?
A
30
B
15
C
60
D
12
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, a cell beginning with 30 chromosomes will end up having daughter cells with only 15 chromosomes by the end of meiosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Human somatic cells have 46 chromosomes consisting of two sets of 22 homologous chromosomes and a pair of nonhomologous sex chromosomes. This is the 2n, or diploid, state. Human gametes have 23 chromosomes or one complete set of chromosomes. This is the n, or haploid, state.

Detailed explanation-3: -If a cell has 15 pairs of chromosomes (n = 15), it has 30 chromosomes (2n = 30). At the end of mitosis, the two daughter cells will be exact copies of the original cell. Each daughter cell will have 30 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The term haploid can also refer to the number of chromosomes in egg or sperm cells, which are also called gametes. In humans, gametes are haploid cells that contain 23 chromosomes, each of which a one of a chromosome pair that exists in diplod cells.
