Question

diagram below shows two strawberry plants. Plant 2 is produced asexually from Plant 1. If the leaf cells of Plant 1 have 56 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be found in the leaf cells of Plant 2? (SC.912.L.16.17)

14

28

56

112

Answer 1

Since Plant 2 is produced asexually from Plant 1, the chromosome number in the leaf cells of Plant 2 will be the same as that of Plant 1. Therefore, if the leaf cells of Plant 1 have 56 chromosomes, then the leaf cells of Plant 2 will also have 56 chromosomes.

The correct answer is **56**.
