The different number of maternal and paternal chromosomes possible will be 8. that is option A is correct.

Chromosomes are defined as the genetic material within the body. They are thread like structures within the DNA and are made of proteins. In general human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes out of which 22 are numbered while 1 is the sex chromosome. Gametes are genetic material that are generally haploid in nature and they carry only one chromosome along with them. According to the question, there are 6 diploid chromosomes present which means there are 3 pairs of chromosomes. So each gametes will have a total number of 3 chromosomal pairs irrespective of their type that is maternal or paternal. Therefore combination of maternal and paternal chromosomes are given by

Combination = 2ⁿ where n is pair of chromosomes and here n = 3

Combination = 2³ = 8

How biodiversity is affected by speciation, disruptive, stabilizing, and directional selection?
VikaD [51]

There are several ways selection can affect population variation:

stabilizing selection

directional selection

diversifying selection

frequency-dependent selection

sexual selection

As natural selection influences the allele frequencies in a population, individuals can either become more or less genetically similar and the phenotypes displayed can become more similar or more disparate. In the end, natural selection cannot produce perfect organisms from scratch, it can only generate populations that are better adapted to survive and successfully reproduce in their environments through the aforementioned selections.
