an organisms diploid cell has 64 chromosomes. its haploid cell would have how many chromosomes?
o 64
o 128
o 32
o 12

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the relationship between diploid and haploid cells

Diploid cells have \(2n\) chromosomes and haploid cells have \(n\) chromosomes.

Step2: Calculate the number of chromosomes in haploid cell

Given diploid cell has \(64\) chromosomes (\(2n = 64\)). To find \(n\) (haploid), we use the formula \(n=\frac{2n}{2}\). Substituting \(2n = 64\), we get \(n=\frac{64}{2}=32\).

Answer:

32
