Question
A cell that has four pairs of chromosomes is undergoing meiosis. What is the number of possible chromosome combinations in the gametes produced by that cell?Multiple Choice83216424
Solution
The number of possible chromosome combinations in the gametes produced by a cell undergoing meiosis can be calculated using the formula 2^n, where n is the number of chromosome pairs. In this case, the cell has 4 pairs of chromosomes, so n = 4.
Therefore, the number of possible chromosome combinations is 2^4 = 16. So, the correct answer is 16.
