In a cell containing 10 chromosomes, meiosis results in the formation of daughter cells containing _____ chromosomes.
Sonbull [250]
5 chromosomes. Meiosis results in 4 haploid cells, meaning they have "n" pairs of chromosomes. The diploid cell that the 10 chromosomes originated in has "2n" pairs. This leaves us with a simple equation to solve the problem, 2n=10, so n must equal 5 chromosomes.

for 4 bases 4^{2} is 16 and it is not enough combination for all 17 amino acids

for 5 bases 5^{2} is 25 combinations (meaning that more than one codon could code for the same amino acid).
