UNO [17]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

There will be 4 different combination of chromosomes

A diploid cell is a cell that contains two sets of each chromosomes; thus a diploid cell with two pairs of homologous chromosomes has four chromosomes.
Gametes are produced through meiosis which is the type of cell division in which a parent cells divides into four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent, that is the cell are haploid.
Therefore, a diploid cell with two pair of homologous chromosomes will produce four haploid cells after meiosis each with two chromosomes.

Vinvika [58]

1. determine the genotypes of the parent organisms
2. write down your "cross" (mating)
3. draw a p-square
4. "split" the letters of the genotype for each parent & put them "outside" the p-square
5. determine the possible genotypes of the offspring by filling in the p-square
6. summarize results (genotypes & phenotypes of offspring)
