Answer:

30

Explanation:

According to the given information, the diploid chromosome number of tomato is 12. And the diploid chromosome number of potato is 48. Gametes are haploid and contain only one complete set of chromosomes. Therefore, the haploid gametes of tomato would have 6 chromosomes while that of the potato plant would have 24 chromosomes. The fusion of these gametes from tomato and potato would obtain the zygote carrying 6 chromosomes from tomato and 24 chromosomes from potato. Therefore, before doubling, the hybrid would have 6 + 24= 30 chromosomes.

Define and distinguish between a hypothesis and a scientific theory
Annette [7]

A hypothesis is an idea or explanation that you then test through study and experimentation. A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. . Most hypotheses can be supported or refuted by experimentation or continued observation. Theory: A theory is more like a scientific law than a hypothesis. I hope this helps! Please give me stars to tell me how well I'm doing.
