In organism where the 2nd number of chromosomes is 16, the number of chromosomes in each gamete will be

  • D 4
jamb 1990biology

The correct answer is C. 8

A gamete is a haploid sex cell of an organism which is reproduced sexually. They contain half the number of chromosomes in an organism.

no of chromosomes = 16, hence, no of chromosomes in the gamete = \(\frac{1}{2}\) of 16 = 8
