For ease, biologists represent 1 set of chromosomes from any organism by the letter n. Any cell with 2 sets is called diploid and represented as 2n. Any cell with just that 1 set (n) is called haploid.

Question

Two cells are isolated from a sexually reproducing organism. One cell contains 92 chromosomes and the other cell contains 46 chromosomes. Which of the following statements is true?

a.The diploid number (2n) of this organism is 46
b.The diploid number (2n) of this organism is 92
c.The cell containing 46 chromosomes is likely a gamete (egg or sperm) cell from the organism
d.The cell containing 46 chromosomes is likely a somatic (body) cell from the organism
e.The cell containing 92 chromosomes is likely a somatic (body) cell from the organism

If no science tutor replies soon, you should try these things:

Go to https://www.khanacademy.org/
Click on Courses (upper left)
Choose the biology section you think you need; choose the topic(s) you need.
Repeat step 3 if you need to.

Khan Academy is an amazing website for help in many subjects. You should bookmark it and use it repeatedly for any subjects you have questions about or need to learn more about. Most (maybe all) lessons are in video format.
