A gene map of the human genome
Answer: 26 chromosomes.
The diploid number is the number of chromosomes required for two
sets of copies of the organism’s genome ( this is the number of chromosomes in the cells except gametic cells). The organism's genome is represented as n, and the diploid number,as 2n (2 x 13= 26).
Answer: Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies - or 'replicates' - its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.
