How many linkage groups are present in a set of chromosomes?

Show Answers

The total number of chromosomes in a diploid cellThe total number of chromosomes in a tetraploid cellThe total number of chromosomes in a haploid cellNone of the listed options

Explanation

The number of linkage groups corresponds to the haploid number of chromosomes because each linkage group represents a set of genes inherited together from one parent. Therefore, the count matches the haploid chromosome number, not the diploid or tetraploid counts.
