Chapter 10: Q. 3 (page 276)

A diploid cell has_______ the number of chromosomes as a haploid cell.

a. one-fourth

b. half

c. twice

d. four times

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is C.

Step by step solution

01

Step. 1 Introduction

Any diploid cell is the one with two full chromosome sets.

02

Step. 2 Explanation for correct answer

A typical haploid cell contains 23 chromosomes, but a human diploid cell comprises 46.

03

Step. 3 Explanation for incorrect option

Option a. Cells that are diploid have 2 types of chromosomes in these cells. It is composed of 2 haploid cells fused together. Thus this option is incorrect.

Option b. If there were half chromosomes present then it would be half of 23 that is 11.5 which is not possible. Thus this option is incorrect.

Option d. 92 chromosomes would be present if the amount of chromosomes is four times, which is not possible. Thus this option is incorrect.
