Vedclass · Answer

(A) In an onion $(Allium 	ext{ cepa})$, the diploid number of chromosomes $(2n)$ is $32$.Meiocytes are diploid cells that undergo meiosis to produce gametes.Therefore, the number of chromosomes in the meiocyte is $2n = 32$.The gametes are haploid cells produced after meiosis, containing half the number of chromosomes $(n)$.Thus, the number of chromosomes in the gamete is $n = 16$.So, the number of chromosomes in the meiocyte and gamete of an onion is $32$ and $16$, respectively.
