Multiple Choice
The human karyotype shown below:
A
Is of a haploid cell.
B
Is from a gamete.
C
Shows 23 chromosomes.
D
All of the above.
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the number of chromosomes in the karyotype image. Count each chromosome to determine if there are 23 chromosomes present.
Understand the definition of a haploid cell. A haploid cell contains one complete set of chromosomes, which in humans is 23 chromosomes.
Recognize that gametes (sperm and egg cells) are haploid cells, each containing 23 chromosomes, which is half the number of chromosomes found in diploid cells.
Analyze the karyotype image to confirm that it shows a single set of chromosomes, indicating it is from a haploid cell, such as a gamete.
Conclude that since the karyotype shows 23 chromosomes, it is from a haploid cell, and it is from a gamete, all statements are correct.
