Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is based on the principle of independent assortment, which states that each pair of alleles segregates independently of the other pairs of alleles during gamete formation. Therefore, for an organism with a diploid chromosome number of 46, the number of possible combinations of chromosomes is 2^23 (since it's haploid number is 23), which equals 8,388,608.
