If we ignore the effect of crossing over, how many different haploid cells arise by meiosis in a diploid cell having 2n=12

A

8

B

16

C

32

D

64

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Formula is `2^(n)` where n=number of haploid chromosomes. 12 chromosomes i.e, n=6. according to our formula 2 pairs of chromosomes can recombine in `(2)^(2)` ways and, therefore, 6 pairs in `(2)^(6)` ways=64.

(Street plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East_West direction. All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200m apart. There are 5 streets in each direaction. Using 1 cm =200cm, draw a model of teh city on your note book. Represent the roads/streets by single lines. There are many cross-streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North-South directin and another in the East-West direction. Each cross street is rreferred to in the following manner, If the 2 ^(nd) steeet running in teh North-South direction 5 ^(th) in the East-West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2,5). Using this convection, find: How many cross-streets can be referred at as (4,3)
