Capitolo 26, Problema 1

The normal diploid number of human chromosomes is:
a. 48
b. 47
c. 46
d. 23
e. 24

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Understand that the diploid number refers to the total number of chromosomes present in a typical somatic (body) cell, which includes two sets of chromosomes—one set inherited from each parent.
Recall that humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, meaning each pair consists of two homologous chromosomes.
Calculate the total number of chromosomes by multiplying the number of pairs by 2: \(23 \times 2\).
Recognize that this total represents the diploid number, which is the standard chromosome count in human somatic cells.
Compare the calculated diploid number to the options provided to identify the correct answer.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Diploid Number

The diploid number refers to the total number of chromosomes present in a typical somatic cell of an organism, containing two sets—one from each parent. In humans, this number represents paired chromosomes, essential for maintaining genetic stability across generations.

Human Chromosome Count

Humans normally have 46 chromosomes in their somatic cells, arranged in 23 pairs. This includes 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes, which determine biological sex. This count is fundamental to human genetics and cell biology.

Haploid Number

The haploid number is the number of chromosomes in gametes (sperm and egg cells), which is half the diploid number. For humans, the haploid number is 23, ensuring that upon fertilization, the diploid number of 46 is restored.
