A species has a diploid number of chromosomes of 6 If a cell

A species has a diploid number of chromosomes of 6. If a cell from an individual of this species undergoes meiosis, what is the probability that a gamete made from this diploid cell will inherit only maternal copies of chromosomes (ie, that the gamete will not inherit any paternal chromosomes)

a. 0 b. 1/4 c. 1/3 d. 1/8

Solution

b)1/4

1 diploid produces =4 haploid childs

=>6 diploid =>6*4=24 haploid childs

ratio:

diploid/haploid=6/24=1/4
