Question

a fruit fly (drosophila) has n=4 chromosomes. how many chromosomes should be in a sperm cell from a male fruit fly? select one: a. 8 b. 2 c. it would be different in each sperm cell. d. 4

Explanation:

In genetics, \(n\) represents the haploid number (number of chromosomes in gametes). Sperm cells are gametes, so they have the haploid number of chromosomes. The fruit fly has \(n=4\), meaning its gametes (including sperm) contain 4 chromosomes.

Answer:

d. 4
