Question

sex cells from a plant are produced by meiosis. the number of chromosomes present in the plant is 28. how many chromosomes are present in the plants sex cells? 14 28 56 84

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the concept of meiosis

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half.

Step2: Calculate the chromosome number in sex cells

If the plant has 28 chromosomes (diploid number, \(2n = 28\)), then the sex cells (haploid, \(n\)) will have \(\frac{28}{2}=14\) chromosomes.

Answer:

14
