If the diploid chromosome number of a cloned plant is 12, the chromosome number of the plant cell used to produce the cloned plant is
|
|
3
|
|
|
6
|
|
|
12
|
|
|
24
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘28’.
Detailed explanation-2: -If the diploid chromosome number for a house fly is 12, the haploid number of chromosomes found in their gametes would be half, or six.
Detailed explanation-3: -Solution : Synergids are formed by megaspore which is a haploid structure thus synergids are haploid and possess 6 chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -A cloned plant has a diploid chromosome number of 24.
Detailed explanation-5: -Overall, meiosis results in the formation of four haploid cells from a diploid parent cell. So if a cell has 12 chromosomes at the end of meiosis I which is reduction division, it means that the parent cell would have had 24 chromosomes in prophase I.
