The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given combinations of organisms with their respective chromosome numbers in meiocytes and gametes is incorrect, we will analyze each organism's chromosome count. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Organisms and Their Chromosome Numbers**: - We have four organisms: Onion, Ophioglossum, Humans, and Fruit Fly. - For each organism, we need to check the chromosome number in meiocytes (2n) and gametes (n). 2. **Onion**: - Given: Meiocyte = 24, Gamete = 12 - Correct: Meiocyte (2n) should be double the gamete (n). - Calculation: If gamete = 12, then meiocyte should be 2 * 12 = 24. - **Conclusion**: This combination is correct. 3. **Ophioglossum**: - Given: Meiocyte = 1260, Gamete = 630 - Correct: Meiocyte (2n) should be double the gamete (n). - Calculation: If gamete = 630, then meiocyte should be 2 * 630 = 1260. - **Conclusion**: This combination is correct. 4. **Humans**: - Given: Meiocyte = 46, Gamete = 23 - Correct: Meiocyte (2n) should be double the gamete (n). - Calculation: If gamete = 23, then meiocyte should be 2 * 23 = 46. - **Conclusion**: This combination is correct. 5. **Fruit Fly**: - Given: Meiocyte = 8, Gamete = 4 - Correct: Meiocyte (2n) should be double the gamete (n). - Calculation: If gamete = 4, then meiocyte should be 2 * 4 = 8. - **Conclusion**: This combination is correct. ### Final Conclusion: After analyzing all the combinations, it appears that the first combination (Onion) was incorrectly stated in the video transcript. The correct chromosome numbers for Onion should be meiocyte = 24 and gamete = 12, which is indeed correct. Therefore, there seems to be no incorrect combination based on the provided data.

To determine which of the given combinations of organisms with their respective chromosome numbers in meiocytes and gametes is incorrect, we will analyze each organism's chromosome count. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Organisms and Their Chromosome Numbers**: - We have four organisms: Onion, Ophioglossum, Humans, and Fruit Fly. - For each organism, we need to check the chromosome number in meiocytes (2n) and gametes (n). ...
