Biology
1 answer:
Delicious77 [7]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

32

Explanation:

Gametes are formed when the gamete mother cells enter meiosis. During anaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate from each other and move towards the opposite poles of the cell. This event reduces the chromosome number to half in the daughter cells. Therefore, if a gamete mother cell with 64 chromosomes enters the process of meiosis, four gametes each other 64/2= 32 chromosomes will be formed. If the gamete mother cell is diploid, the gametes are said to be haploid.

The US Environmental Protection Agency has categorized DDT into the B2 class, that is, potential carcinogen for humans. This supports the fact that the insecticide acts on human DNA.
