Question

question 5 of 5
if a typical somatic cell has 64 chromosomes, how many chromosomes are expected in each gamete of that organism?
8
16
32
64
128

Explanation:

Step1: Understand chromosome number in somatic and gamete cells

Somatic cells are diploid (\(2n\)), and gametes are haploid (\(n\)).

Step2: Calculate the number of chromosomes in gametes

If \(2n = 64\), then \(n=\frac{64}{2}\).

Answer:

32
