QUESTION 11 Each somatic cell for a koala bear (Phascolarctos cinereus) contains 16 chromosomes. Please answer the following questions. 1 mark) a) What is the diploid number of this species? b) What is the haploid number of this species? c) How many homologous chromosome pairs are present in a cell during interphase? For Blank 1 (1 mark) 1 mark)Explanation / Answer
Diploid no of chromosomes 2n = 16
Haploid no fo chromosomes n = 8
Interphase no of chromosomes = 18 (2n) 8 homologous pairs of chromosomes.
