In a diploid organism 2n = 6,and there are two long,two intermediate,and two short chromosomes.What is the most accurate representation of a gamete resulting from meiosis in this organism?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and undergo crossing over, resulting in new combinations of genetic material. In this diploid organism with 2n = 6, there are two copies of each chromosome - two long, two intermediate, and two short. During meiosis, each homologous pair separates, resulting in four haploid gametes, each with one copy of each type of chromosome. The gamete represented by choice B has one long, one intermediate, and one short chromosome, which is a possible combination resulting from meiosis in this organism. The other choices either have too many or too few chromosomes or have the wrong combination of chromosome lengths.
