Question

a fox’s diploid number of chromosomes is 36. how would the number of chromosomes in the fox’s body cells compare to the number of chromosomes on its gametes

Answer 1

Number in the gamete would be half of diploid number (18)

Step-by-step explanation:

When a fox (or any other organism) makes gametes, it gives one set of it's chromosomes to its gamete. So if the fox has 36 chromosomes in it's normal somatic cells, this means it will give half ( or 18) chromosomes to it's gametes.
