What is the significance of the number 46 concerning DNA?
Chromosomes are comprised of DNA. Chromosomes are located inside the nucleus of every cell. There are exactly 46 chromosomes in every one of your body's cells.
What process takes meiosis this reduced set number and returns it to match the original set number of the parent cell?
Fertilization of the egg by the sperm. The resulting cell is a zygote, which contains the same number of chromosomes as a normal body cell for that species. For example, in humans, sperm cells have 1 set of 23 chromosomes, as do egg cells. So when they unite in fertilization, the zygote will have 2 sets of 23 chromosomes, for a total of 46.
What symbols are used to represent the diploid number?
n! Or more specifically, 2n = diploid cell n = haploid cell Think of n as one set of chromosomes
