The diploid cells of a polar bear contain 74 chromosomes.

How many chromosomes are in a polar bear's haploid cells?

Answer:
CORRECT (SELECTED)
37.

Explanation:
Haploid cells contain half the number of chromosomes of diploid cell

Respuesta :

Chromosomes are the genetic material that gets transferred from the parent to the offspring. The haploid cell of the Polar bear with diploidy of 74 chromosomes will be 37.

What are diploid and haploid?

Diploid and haploid are the number or the ploidy of the chromosomes in the somatic or germinal cells. The chromosomes in a double set are called diploidy and are represented as 2n.

The single or the half set of the chromosome in germinal or reproductive cells are called haploidy and are represented as n. They are characteristic of the gametes involved in fertilization.

If the diploid cells (2n) of a Polar bear contain 74 chromosomes then the chromosomes in the Polar bear's haploid cells (n) will be,

2n = 74

n =?

Then,

(n × 74) ÷ 2n

= 37

Therefore, there are 37 chromosomes in the haploid cells of the Polar bear.
