Detailed explanation-1: -How many homologous pairs ofchromosomes will a diploid cell have if the. original cell has 32 chromosomes? A) 8.
Detailed explanation-2: -The species is diploid with 32 chromosomes per cell. B. Each diploid cell has eight homologous pairs of chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Since this organism has a 2n ploidy number of 16, it means that each of their diploid cells will have 16 chromosomes, 8 pairs of homologous chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Each daughter cell receives only half the number of chromosomes from the parent cell. At this stage, a diploid cell with 16 chromosomes will have 8 chromosomes in the daughter cells. Since each chromosome has two sister chromatids attached at the centromere, there are a total of 16 sister chromatids.
