Question

a diploid cell of bakers yeast has 32 chromosomes. how many chromosomes are in each of its haploid spores? 32 64 8 16 1

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the relationship between diploid and haploid chromosome numbers

Diploid cells (\(2n\)) have twice the number of chromosomes as haploid cells (\(n\)).

Step2: Calculate the haploid chromosome number

Given \(2n = 32\) (diploid number), then \(n=\frac{32}{2}\).
$$n = 16$$

Answer:

16
