A new plant species C formed from hybridization of species A (2n =18) with species B (2n=12).?

would probably produce gametes with a chromosome number of





a) 12


b)15


c) 18


d) 30


e) 60

Sorry but all the alternatives are wrong.


The hybrid would not be able to produce any gametes since because it does not have a full set of chromosome pairs (it has 15 different chromosomes - 9 + 6) it would not be able to produce gametes in meiosis since a key event in meiosis is the pairing of chromosomes at Prophase 1.
