Question

The expected number of chromosomes in human body cells is 46. Fruit flies have only 8 chromosomes, mulberry trees have 308, and protists can have thousands. Dogs are in the middle of the range, with 78 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are in the sex cells of each of these organisms?

Answer 1

half of whatever it has already

Answer 2

The number of chromosomes present in the gametes of each organism is as follows:

• Humans: 23 chromosomes
• Fruit flies: 4 chromosomes
• mulberry trees: 154 chromosomes
• Dogs: 39 chromosomes

WHAT ARE GAMETES:

Gametes are cells used during production to create offsprings of an organism. Gametes are formed as a result of meiosis in organisms.

Meiosis produces daughter cells (gametes) that are genetically different from one another. Meiosis is the cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half.

This means that an organism with 10 chromosomes will produce gametes with 5 chromosomes. The following are the number of chromosomes contained in specific organisms:

• Humans: 23 chromosomes
• Fruit flies: 4 chromosomes
• mulberry trees: 154 chromosomes
• Dogs: 39 chromosomes
