A particular diploid plant species has 48 chromosomes, or two sets. A mutation occurs and gametes with 48 chromosomes are produced. If self-fertilization occurs, the zygote will have _____ set(s) of chromosomes.
Both gametes will each have 48 chromosomes (2 sets). So if fertilisation were to occur, two of those gametes (both with 2 sets each) the zygote will have 4 sets.
