Correct answer is 5.

It's simply missing a chromosome. A gamete would have haploid (23), a normal human female has 46 with 2 X chromosomes, a red blood cell diploid (46), and a cancerous one would have a screwed up gene (not chromosome).
 
While examining a human cell that functions normally, you determine that it has 45 functional chromosomes and one chromosome that is almost completely inactive. You immediately decide that it is very likely that this cell ________????

1) will become cancerous if one or two more genes are mutated
2) is a red blood cell
3) came from a normal human female
4) is a gamete
5) is lacking a chromosome

Which one is correct? Thanks TONS!!
