Given that the diploid number of cattle is 60 (2n = 60) how many pairs of chromosomes do cattle have?

30

Explanation:

Diploid is simply referred to as a cell or an organism which possess paired chromosomes. The paired chromosomes are gotten from each of the parents.

It should be noted that the total chromosomes that will be found in the cattle's somatic cell is 60. Therefore, the pair will be 60/2 = 30.

volcanoes (an event in the geosphere) release a large amount of particulate matter into the atmosphere. these particles serve as nuclei for the formation of water droplets (hydrosphere). rainfall (hydrosphere) often increases following an eruption, stimulating plant growth (biosphere).

the diploid number of chromosomes is sometimes represented by the symbol 2n. for the fruit fly, the diploid number is 8, which can be written as 2n = 8, where n represents twice the number of chromosomes in a sperm or egg cell.
