A) 2; 8 
B) 2; 2 
C) 8; 8 
D) 4; 4 
E) 4; 8 
F) 2; 4

Accepted Answer

In a diploid cell, the number of chromosomes is typically constant for a given species, and each chromosome consists of two chromatids before cell division. Therefore, if there are 4 chromosomes, there would be 8 chromatids, as each chromosome would consist of 2 chromatids.
