How many pairs of homologous chromosomes would be in an offspring?
Please give me an answer not a link to another website. Thanks.
23 i think
If you are talking about humans, it would 23. Are you talking about humans?
23 for humans
To determine the number of pairs of homologous chromosomes in an offspring, you need to know the number of chromosomes in the parents' cells. Humans normally have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one set inherited from each parent, for a total of 46 chromosomes.
During the process of sexual reproduction, the offspring inherit half of their chromosomes from each parent. Therefore, if both parents have a complete set of 46 chromosomes, the offspring will also have 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes.
It's important to note that in some cases, genetic disorders or variations can result in an abnormal number of chromosomes, but this answer assumes a normal diploid human cell with 46 chromosomes.
