A) The species is diploid with 32 chromosomes per cell.
B) The species has 16 sets of chromosomes per cell.
C) Each cell has eight homologous pairs.
D) During the S phase of the cell cycle there will be 32 separate chromosomes.
E) A gamete from this species has four chromosomes.Answer is
C) Each cell has eight homologous pairs.
The number of chromosomal sets is denoted by the letter n. When a species’ chromosome number is 2n = 16, that means the diploid cell has 16 chromosomes. A diploid cell has two sets of chromosomes (2n). A haploid cell (gamete) has only one set of chromosomes, a total of eight.
