Question

SOMEONE HELP I THINK ITS EITHER A OR D

The table below provides the number of chromosomes found in the body cells of various types of organisms.


Diploid Chromosome Number
Fruit Fly 8
Human 46
Goldfish 94


Which of the following is the best explanation for why the chromosome numbers above are all even?

A) The diploid chromosome number represents two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, so it is always an even number.

B) Animal cells always have an even number of chromosomes, and plant cells always have an odd number of chromosomes.

C. The diploid chromosome number is always even to ensure that equal numbers of chromosomes end up in each daughter cell during meiosis.

D. The number of chromosomes present in a diploid cell doubles for each generation because there are two parents.

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

it is not because of the parents during the creation process, because also new cells have the pairs of chromosomes.

none of has today even one cell in our bodies that was there, when were embryos.

during the lifetime of every multicellular being the body cells are recreated many, many times until death.

it is actually during cell splitting that the 2 resulting cells get one set of chromosomes and use that to immediately create a second set each once the separation is complete.
