Multiple Choice
Wild oysters are diploid and have 20 chromosomes in somatic cells. Scientists have generated tetraploid oysters using colchicine to prevent separation of sister chromatids. Crossing a diploid oyster with a tetraploid oyster resulted in triploid oysters that are commercially advantageous because they are larger and do not have a reproductive phase that usually interrupts the harvesting season.
-What is the probability that a gamete produced by a triploid oyster will be balanced?
A) 1/1024
B) 1/512
C) 1/20
D) very close to 1
