The diagram below shows the chromosomes from a cell after they were photographed under a microscope.

Which of the following questions may best be answered by studying an organism’s chromosomes? Explain.

The question is incomplete as neither it have the options which have been provided nor the figure which is not found anywhere.

A. What sex is the organism?

B. Is the organism endangered?

C. Where is the organism's ecosystem?

D. How does the organism obtain its food?

A. What sex is the organism?

Explanation:

In the given question, the figure has not been attached therefore the question has been answered based on previous knowledge.

Chromosomes are the tightly packaged structure of DNA formed by the condensation of the DNA. Since the chromosomes are made of DNA therefore the chromosomes are studied in genetics.

The genetic studies involve the karyotype of chromosomes, the size of chromosomes, the number of chromosomes and the genes which can determine the trait of an organism to survive.

Genes present on the chromosomes can control the trait of an organism and based on this one an predict the sex of an organism but the genes located on the chromosomes cannot determine the traits like it will be an endangered species, the ecosystem of the organism or the how will it obtain the food.

Thus, the selected option is correct.
