A ferret gamete will have:

Group of answer choices:

O 40 replicated chromosomes

O 40 unreplicated chromosomes

O 20 replicated chromosomes

O 20 unreplicated chromosomes

O 20 pairs of sister chromatids

O 20 pairs of homologous chromosomes

O 20 unreplicated chromosomes

Explanation:

Ferrets have a diploid genome of 40 (meaning 20 pairs of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell). A gamete is haploid, meaning in the case of the ferret it will have 20 chromosomes.

Chromosomes present in a gamete are not present with their sister chromatid pair (they are separated in meiosis II). And they are haploid, so not with their homologous partner. This means there are 20 unreplicated chromosomes in the ferret gametes.
