Question

A new plant species C, which formed from hybridization of species A(2n = 16) with species B(2n = 12), would probably produce gametes with a chromosome number of
a. 12.
b. 14.
c. 16.
d. 28.

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone here. We have a question that says, in rare cases, speciation through hybridization can occur without affecting the chromosome number. Such processes called so normally when a new species is produced, there is a whole genome duplication. In this case there is no genome duplication. It occurs without affecting the chromosome number, and that is called home employed hybrid speciation. So our answer here is B. Thank you for watching. Bye!
