  • each chromosome has 2 kinetochores. so the answer would be 16×2=32

  • n=8 each chromosome=2 kinetochore and in root tip=2n therefore no. of kinetochore is 32


  • 32 becoz one chromosomes have two kinetochore


  • 2n=16 ...equal to the number of chromosomes 1 chromosome has two kinetochores...therefore 16×2=32
