diploid cell- What is the total number of telomeres

Question

A diploid cell from a rat is a 2n = 8 cell. What is the total number of telomeres in a rat cell in G₂ stage of cell cycle?

Answer 1

That's a good one. There are two telomere's in each chromosome. So in a diploid cell, if there are 8 chromosomes, 8*2=16 telomeres. I hope this helps.
