Recessive means a weaker trait in genetics. Genes that mask other genes are called dominant and genes that can be masked are the weaker or recessive genes. Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease that mainly affects Caucasian children of European decent. The disease is caused by a defect in which cells make chloride pumps but fail to install them in the plasma membrane. Both parents must carry the recessive gene for a child to inherit the condition.

A species has 2n = 16 chromosomes. how many chromosomes would be found in...
Nastasia [14]
I presume your question is, how many chromosomes would be found in the resulting daughter cells of meiosis?

If parent cell has 16 chromosomes, the first division in Meiosis of the cell will result in 8 chromosomes, and the second division (I.e. the separation of the sister chromatids of the 8 chromosomes) results in 8 daughter chromosomes.

The number of chromosomes in each cell resulting from meiosis is 8.

Hope this helps! :)
