C. elegans are one of the most common model organisms in biology. C. elegans
typically have 6 pairs of homologous chromosomes, 5 pairs of autosomes and 1
pair of sex chromosomes. C. elegans exist as two different sexes . About 99.98%
of C. elegans are self-fertilizing hermaphrodites and the other 0.02% are non-
self-fertilizing males. C. elegans hermaphrodites undergo meiosis in two different
locations, one location producing egg cells and the other producing sperm.
During fertilization, these two cell types are brought together to produce a
fertilized egg which is then laid by the animal.
What is the 2n (diploid) number of a typical C. elegans ?
