The statment Choice C) There are 10 sister chromatids in the cell. C There are 10 sister chromatids in the cell. (Choice D) The haploid (n) number of this cell is 5 \[(n=5)\]. D The haploid (n) number of this cell is 5 [(n=5)\] is correct .

The following statements are true:

There are 10 sister chromatids in the cell.

Each chromosome has two sister chromatids, and there are five chromosomes in the image.

The haploid (n) number of this cell is 5 (n = 5).

The haploid number is the number of chromosomes in a sex cell, and there are five chromosomes in the image.

Therefore, the correct answers are choices C and D.

Here is why the other choices are incorrect:

Choice A is incorrect: We cannot determine the number of homologous pairs from the image.

Homologous pairs are chromosomes of the same type, one from each parent. The image only shows one set of chromosomes.

Choice B is incorrect: We cannot determine whether this is a sex cell from the image.

Sex cells typically have one sex chromosome and one autosome, but the image does not show enough information to determine this.

Based on the image and the information above, which of the following statements are-example-1
