In the Human,the Diploid Genetic Condition Occurs

Question

In the human,the diploid genetic condition occurs
A)when the number of chromosomes equals the number of genes.
B)when a cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes.
C)when a cell has the (n)number of chromosomes.
D)when a cell has 23 chromosomes.
E)in each gamete just before fertilization.

Accepted Answer

In humans, diploid genetic condition occurs when a cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes, giving a total of 46 chromosomes. Each chromosome in the pair carries the same genes in the same locations. This is the normal number of chromosomes in most somatic cells of the human body, except for gametes which are haploid (having only one set of 23 chromosomes). Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the diploid genetic condition in humans. Option E is incorrect because gametes are haploid, not diploid.
