A diploid organism produces four gametes from one parent cellthrough the process of meiosis. Two gametes are found to have 4chromosomes, one gamete is found to have 3 chromosomes and onegamete is found to have 5 chromosomes.
A) Is this the expected number of chromosomesthat would be found in each gamete following a normal cycle ofmeiosis? If yes, explain why. If no, explain why not and describehow the gamete situation described above occurred.
B)Â Â Determine the number ofhomologous chromosome pairs that the original parent cellcontained, before meiosis began. Explain how you determined thisvalue. Please note: a value without a written explanation will notbe graded.
Please clearly label your responses asA) and B) or it will not be possible tograde.
