Consider a cell that has four pairs of chromosomes. What is the number of possible chromosome orientations in that cell?

mendel's first law states that during the formation of reproductive cells , pairs of hereditary factors for a specific trait separate so that offspring receive one factor from each parent.

explanation:

both male and female gametes are produced by meiosis of the germ cells. therefore, both male and female gametes are haploid. one male and one female gamete unite during the fertilization to form the diploid zygote. in seed bearing plants, pollen grain is the male gametophyte, which produces sperm cells.
