In a species of corn the diploid number of chromosomes is 20. what would be the number of chromosomes found in each of the normal egg cells produced by this species?

In a species of corn with a diploid number of 20 chromosomes, the haploid number, which is the number of chromosomes found in each normal egg cell, would be half of that. Therefore, each egg cell would contain 10 chromosomes. This reduction occurs during meiOSis, where the diploid cells divide to form haploid gametes.
