The chromosome constitutions in a normal diploid Arabidopsis thaliana plant is 2n=10. A scientist applied colchicine to the seedling. What will be the chromosome number of the resultant tetraploid plants?

Sagot :

The chromosome constitutions in a normal diploid Arabidopsis thaliana plant is 2n=10. A scientist applied colchicine to the seedling, the chromosome number of the resultant tetraploid plants is four times of the original.

How many total * chromosomes * are present in a normal diploid Arabidopsis cell?

Arabidopsis thaliana has ten chromosomes in a somatic nucleus, two each of five distinct types.

Like humans, Arabidopsis is diploid, with a diploid number of ten and a haploid number of five.

Thus,  the chromosome number of the resultant tetraploid plants is four times of the original.
