How many chromosomes will be present in a gamete if the somatic cell has eight(8) chromosomes?
Answer Details
The process of meiosis results in the formation of gametes (sperm or egg cells) that contain half the number of chromosomes as compared to the parent cell. Therefore, if the somatic cell has eight chromosomes, the gamete will have half that number, which is 4 chromosomes.
Hence, the correct answer is 4.
