Question 1 Report

How many chromosomes will be in a gamete if the normal cell has four chromosomes?
Answer Details
If a normal cell has four chromosomes, it means that it has two pairs of chromosomes. During gamete formation, meiosis occurs and the chromosome pairs separate, producing haploid gametes that have only one chromosome from each pair. This means that each gamete will have only two chromosomes, one from each pair. Therefore, the answer is 2.
