Q. What will be the gametic chromosome number in a cell, if somatic cells have $40$ chromosomes ?

Uttarkhand PMTUttarkhand PMT 2007

Solution:

The gametes are the haploid $ (n) $ structures which have the chromosomes number half than those of somatic cells (diploid or $ 2n $ ). Thus, if a somatic cell has $40$ chromosomes, there will be only $20$ chromosomes in the gamete.
