Which of the following cells has the highest diploid chromosome number? A) Goldfish B) Alligator C) Corn D) Chimpanzee
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the organism among the options provided that has the highest diploid chromosome number. This requires knowledge of the diploid chromosome counts of different species, specifically comparing the goldfish, alligator, corn, and chimpanzee.
Answer
Goldfish has the highest diploid chromosome number (2n = 104).
The cell with the highest diploid chromosome number is the goldfish (with 2n = 104).
Answer for screen readers
The cell with the highest diploid chromosome number is the goldfish (with 2n = 104).
More Information
Goldfish, Carassius auratus, has a surprisingly high diploid chromosome number for a fish, even surpassing many mammals, including humans and chimpanzees.
Tips
One common mistake is confusing diploid chromosome numbers with the total number of chromosomes in all cells added together.
