If a normal diploid cell of an organism contains 32 chromosomes, how many double-stranded DNA molecules will be present during metaphase of mitosis?Please write your answer as a whole number without a decimal point. For example, type 8, not "eight" or "8.0"
Added by Belen W.
Step 1
A normal diploid cell contains two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. The number given, 32 chromosomes, implies that each set contains 16 chromosomes (since 32/2 = 16). Show more…
