The total number of linkage groups...
ANSWER :
The linkage groups are equal to the haploid set of total chromosomes that present in the body cells of an organism. Since humans have 46 or 23 pairs of chromosomes (diploid), hence there would be 23 linkage groups in them. Therefore, option (d) is the correct answer.
The total number of linkage groups... Varies with the size of the organisms chromosomes Is equal...
Genetics
n is the basic number of chromosomes In humans 2n- 46 n-23 X is the number of chromosomes in a gamete or half the number of chromosomes of a diploid organism In humans 2x = 46 x 23
An organism produces gametes with a haploid number of chromosomes equal to 12; how many chromosomes exist in the diploid cells of this organism?
Question 18 2 pts Homologous chromosomes describe the pairs of chromosomes that diploid organisms, such as humans, possess. Which of the statements about homologous chromosomes is true? Siblings share all the same homologous chromosomes (e.g. One sister has all the same chromosomes as her older sister. O Homologous chromosomes are genetically identical to one another. O People get one of each homologous chromosome from either biological parent. If you examine a pair of homologous chromosomes, they possess different genes.
In humans, there are _______ autosomal linkage groups, plus an X and Y chromosome linkage group. Select one: a. 23 b. 46 c. 22 d. 92
An organism has a diploid number of 32. What would be the number of chromosomes found in the cells of this organism undergoing meiosis? Explain.
12. A diploid organism has a total of 24 chromosomes. Assuming all possible chromosome combinations are viable: If a mutant tetraploid version of this organism was created how many chromosomes would it have? If a mutant version of this diploid organism was monosomic for chromosome 9 how many chromosomes would it have? A. 96; 25 B. 96,23 C. 48,23 D. 48; 25 In a diploid organism 2n = 6, and there are two long, two intermediate, and two short chromosomes....
For a diploid organism that normally has a total of 20 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be present in a somatic cell after S phase? a) 10 b) 20 c) 40 d) 80 Please explain :)
A. Organisms heterozygous for inversions and translocations are
viable and able to produce progeny but usually in fewer numbers.
Explain why this is so in general terms.
B. Also, explain how would you distinguish among pericentric
inversions, paracentric inverisons, reciprocal translocations and
non reciprocal translocations as sources of semi-sterility. You
need to consider meiotic figures.
C. How can these chromosome aberrations be used to map genes to
chromosomes or linkage groups. You may use a two-point mapping
system as an...
For a diploid organism where 2n = 16, please indicate the number of chromosomes and chromatids at each of the following stages stage s phase mitosis meiosis 1 meiosis 2 Number of chromosomes at the beginning of the stage Number of chromatids at the beginning of the stage Number of chromosomes at the end of the stage Number of chromatids at the end of the stage thanks !!
if an organism is diploid or 2n number of 16 how many chromosomes do its sperm cells or eggs contain?
