A Goat has a diploid number of 60. What is the number of chromosomes in one of its gametes?
A
60
B
30
C
100
D
120
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -so an animal with a diploid number of chromosomes equal to 30 will produce four gametes. Each gamete will contain 15 chromosomes due to meiosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Goats have a diploid chromosome number of 60.

Detailed explanation-3: -The present day cattle and goat possess the same diploid chromosome number (2n = 60) and structurally similar autosomes, except that a small subcentromeric portion of cattle chromosome nine has been translocated to goat chromosome 14.

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.
