A species has a diploid chromosome number of 48. Is it true or false that of the 24 chromosomes in an ovum, 12 are always paternal?
Solution
All the chromosomes that we inherit from te ovum are maternal and all the chromosomes that we inherit from the father are paternal.
Thus, the statement stating that 12 chromosomes of total 24 chromosomes in the ovum are paternal is incorrect.
