A. 2n = 48

B. 2n = 38

C. 2n = 58

D. 2n = 50

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The number of chromosomes found in the river buffalo is 2n = 50.
The genetic diversity among the two types of buffaloes (river and swamp) exists to the extent of different numbers of diploid chromosomes 2n = 50. The diploid chromosome number of the swamp buffalo from both countries was 48 and that of the river buffalo was 50, while all F1 hybrids exhibited 49 chromosomes.
