Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
Options for the question are
A) 5
B) 10
C) 32
D) 64
Solution
It is given that the female swamp wallaby, an Australian marsupial has a diploid chromosome.
Thus,
[tex]2n = 10\\[/tex]
On solving the above relation, we get -
[tex]n = 5[/tex]
Now, we know that number of chromosome arrangement if the eggs are undergoing independent assortment is equal to
[tex]2^n[/tex]
Substituting the values of "n" is above relation, we get -
[tex]2^5\\= 2*2*2*2*2\\= 32[/tex]
Total 32 different chromosomal arrangements are possible in the eggs of the swamp wallaby as a result of independent assortment
Hence, option C is correct
