this information, indicate if the following statements are TRUE or FALSE:
[ Select)
A. The species can have up to 12 different alleles for each gene.
[ Select)
B. The genes of this species have, on average, 6 different alleles.
[Select]
C. The species haploid number is 1n=6.
[ Select]
D. The genes of this species cluster into 6 distinct groups of linked
genes.
[Select]
E. At most, an individual can have 2 alleles for any gene.
Select]
F. The organism can have up to 12 genes for any given trait.
[Select ]
G. The species can have up to 6 chromosomes with the same gene.
Select)
H. Gametes produced by each individual would have 12
chromosomes.

Answer 1

A. False

B. False.

C. True.

D. False.

E. True

F. True

G. True

H. False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diploid organism has almost double the cells than in the Haploid. The number of chromosomes in each diploid cell are also nearly twice the other cells. Diploid is any cell or organism which has two sets of chromosomes. Gamete is considered as the sex cell. It has ability to pair up and formulate the reproductive cells.
