If the number of chromosomes in gametes of potato is 24, the chromosomes in its meiocyte are:

48

The correct answer is Option (3) → 48

In potato, the number of chromosomes in its gametes is given as 24. Gametes are haploid (n), meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells or meiocytes, which are diploid (2n).

Since the gametes have 24 chromosomes:

2n=2×24=48

Thus, the chromosome number in the meiocyte (2n) of potato is 48.

The correct answer is: 48
