Question

If a horse retina cell has 36 chromosomes, how many chromosomes does a horse sperm cell contain?

Answer 1

18

Step-by-step explanation:

If a normal cell has a diploid number of chromosomes, a gamete cell [the sperm cell] would have a haploid number of chromosomes, which is half the diploid number.

`(36)/(2)` = 18

Therefore a horse sperm cell has 18 chromosomes.
