Sometimes Jamb asks unnecessary question just to confuse and fail candidates...questions don finish??? Na only una waka come???
The correct answer is:
24
Explanation:
The endoman-fluid cell has a triploid (3n) composition, which means it has three sets of chromosomes.
Given that the endoman-fluid cell has 36 chromosomes:
36 (endoman-fluid) = 3n
n = 36 / 3
n = 12
Since the hybrid is diploid (2n), the chromosome number of the hybrid would be:
2n = 2 × 12
2n = 24
The correct answer is:
C) 24
