Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a species has a diploid chromosome number of 16, how many chromosomes will be found in a gamete? Explain your answer.

💡 Hint: Recall what haploid means.

Question 2

Consider a species that undergoes meiosis but fails in the crossing over process. What impact could this have on genetic diversity and evolution?
