Detailed explanation-1: -Domestic cats have 38 chromosomes, including 18 autosomal pairs and the sex chromosomes, X and Y. This karyotype depicts a female cat and therefore has two X chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. Twenty-two of these pairs, called autosomes, look the same in both males and females. The 23rd pair, the sex chromosomes, differ between males and females.
Detailed explanation-3: -Law of Segregation. Observing that true-breeding pea plants with contrasting traits gave rise to F1 generations that all expressed the dominant trait and F2 generations that expressed the dominant and recessive traits in a 3:1 ratio, Mendel proposed the law of segregation.
Detailed explanation-4: -A genome is all the hereditary information-all the genes-of an organism.
