how many chromosomes would be found in an allopolyploid plant if its parents had diploid numbers of 2 and 10, respectively?

Sagot :

Answer:

6

Explanation:

The allopolyploid off spring should have 6 chromosome the gametes produced for the diploid number 2 should be 1 and for 10 it should be 5 (n/2) the two gametesof both parents gametes should then fuse ( 1+5 ) giving us 6

or

gamete chromosomes =n÷2

gametes for diploid number 2

N= 2

2÷2 = I

gamete Chromosome = 1

gamete for diploid number 10

N=10

10÷2 =5

Allopolyploid= 5+1

=6
