question 33

Multiple Choice

• A) All the gametes descended from cell X will be diploid.
• B) Half of the gametes descended from cell X will be n + 1, and half will be n - 1.
• C) One-quarter of the gametes descended from cell X will be n + 1, one-quarter will be n - 1, and half will be n.
• D) Two of the four gametes descended from cell X will be haploid, and two will be diploid.
