Question:
If chromosome number in meiocyte of rice is 24, then the chromosome number in the pollen grains is
If chromosome number in meiocyte of rice is 24, then the chromosome number in the pollen grains is
Show Hint
Always divide the diploid meiocyte number by 2 to find the haploid number in gametes.

- 24
- 48
- 36
- 12
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The chromosome number in a meiocyte (2n) is 24, so the pollen grain (which is a haploid gamete) will have half the number of chromosomes: 24 / 2 = 12.
