How many chromosomes would normally be present in a gamete produced by this chimpanzee?

Each body cell of a chimpanzee contains 48 chromosomes. How many chromosomes would normally be present in a gamete produced by this chimpanzee?





24


36


48


96|||Those 48 chromosomes are from a DIPLOID cell. Gametes are HAPLOID cells. So there would be 24 chromosomes.|||body cell = diploid = 2n


gamete = haploid = n





48/2=24





meiosis is the process where germ cells are divided into gametes. this cuts the number of chromosomes in half
