If 2n = 48 for a particular cell, then the chromosome number in each cell after meiosis would be

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Start by identifying what 2n = 48 means in terms of chromosome structure. This indicates a diploid organism, where the total chromosome count is 48 and there are 24 pairs of homologous chromosomes (n is the haploid number).
Option 1: 48. This is the diploid chromosome number, not the haploid set produced by meiosis. Meiosis reduces chromosome number, so 48 is not correct for gametes.
Option 2: 6. There is no basis in this context for a haploid set this small; 6 would correspond to an organism with n = 6, which contradicts the given 2n = 48.
Option 3: 96. This would be an increase in chromosome number, which does not occur during meiosis. Meiosis reduces, not doubles, the chromosome count.
Option 4: 12. This would imply n = 12, inconsistent with the given 2n = 48 where n = 24. Therefore not correct.
Option 5: 24. Since 2n = 48 implies n = 24, the haploid chromosome number in each gamete after meiosis is 24, reflecting the reduction division that halves the chromosome count.
