Question

2. Which of the following best describes the genetic material a person receives from his or her father?

- 22 pairs of homologous chromosomes and an X and Y chromosome

- 22 haploid cells and an X or Y chromosome

- 23 diploid cells and an X and Y chromosome

- 22 autosomes and an X or Y chromosome

Answer 1

22 autsomes and an X or y chromosome

Step-by-step explanation:

Humans have 46 chromosomes. 23 from the mother and 23 from the father. The father has x and y chromosome. While the mother has two x chromosomes. 22 chromosomes each are given from both parents And the other chromosome (the 23rd) are the chromosomes for sex genes. Autosomes are all chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes. Therefore 22 autosomes are given from each parent. With reference to this questions 22 autsomes and one x or y chromosome will be given from the father.
