Detailed explanation-1: -The diploid chromosome number is 10. So, the haploid chromosome number will be= 10/2= 5. The number of possible chromosome pairs is given by= 2n, where n is the haploid chromosome number.
Detailed explanation-2: -A diploid cell contains 10 chromosomes (2n = 10).
Detailed explanation-3: -For a cell with a diploid number of 10 (2n = 10), the two daughter cells that are produced after mitosis will contain ten chromosomes (identical to the parental cell).
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).
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
