b) 24
c) 32
d) 36

Answer 1

In an organism where a muscle cell has 32 chromosomes, a gamete would have 16 chromosomes because gametes are produced by meiosis, which halves the chromosome number.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a muscle cell of a typical organism has 32 chromosomes, the number of chromosomes that would be found in a gamete of that same organism would be half that amount. This is because gametes are the result of a special type of cell division called meiosis, which reduces the chromosome number by half to produce sex cells or gametes, so they will have a haploid number of chromosomes. Since the muscle cell is diploid and contains 32 chromosomes, a gamete would contain 16 chromosomes.
