As shown gives the number of chromosomes in a haploid set of chromosomes. What is the lowest number in the table? What is the highest number? Most cells in plants are diploid, having two sets of chromosomes,so the number per nucleus should be doubled. How many chromosomes are present in each diploid potato nucleus? If a potato plant has 1 million cells, each with one diploid nucleus, how many chromosomes are present in the entire plant?
Consider a diploid organism that follows the XX-XO mode of sex determination. Normally, there are 7 chromosomes in its somatic cell. The chromosomal composition is as follows: Chromosome I is a large acrocentric chromosome Chromosome II is a large telocentric chromosome Chromosome III is a small telocentric chromosome Chromosome IV (X chromosome) is a medium submetacentric chromosome   Aneuploidy was observed in a particular individual wherein there are three copies of Chromosome III.   Illustrate the source of aneuploidy if it occurs in Meiosis I. Diagram spermatogenesis starting with the primary spermatocyte up to spermatozoa, making sure to distinguish between chromosomes and the different phases of meiosis I (prophase I*, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I). Indicate the respective chromosome equation and chromosome number of the primary spermatocyte, secondary spermatocyte, spermatid, and spermatozoon.
Each sperm of a tomato plant contains seven chromosomes. What are the haploid and diploid number for tomatoes?     haploid=7 and diploid=14     haploid=14 and diploid=7     haploid=7 and diploid=49     haploid=3 and diploid=7
