Howmany pairs of homologous chromosomes will be48.found in metaphase i

1.	Howmany pairs of homologous chromosomes will be48.found in metaphase in a haploid cell having a total of20 chromosomes ?(a) 40) 20(b) zerod) 10
Answer» Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs, one from each parent, that are similar in length, gene position and centromere location. option (c) is correct. because, the chromosome no. gets doubled during S phase, so that after the telophase, the no. of chromosomes in each cell remains same. hence, 20 chromosomes will double to get 40 and hence 20 pair of chromosomes. but that is not the answer kindly check the solution. i have edited it. thank you have a nice day option c is correct. c is correct

Answer»

Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs, one from each parent, that are similar in length, gene position and centromere location.

option (c) is correct.

because, the chromosome no. gets doubled during S phase, so that after the telophase, the no. of chromosomes in each cell remains same.

hence, 20 chromosomes will double to get 40 and hence 20 pair of chromosomes.

but that is not the answer

kindly check the solution. i have edited it.

thank you have a nice day

option c is correct. c is correct
