Question

 A wolf's diploid number of chromosomes is 78. How would the number of chromosomes in the wolf's body cells compare to the number of chromosomes in its gametes?Its body cells and gametes would both have 39 chromosomes. Its body cells would have 39 chromosomes, and its gametes would have 78 chromosomes. Its body cells would have 78 chromosomes, and its gametes would have 39 chromosomes. Its body cells and gametes would both have 78 chromosomes.

Answer 1

It's body cells would have 78 chromosomes, and its gametes would have 39. 

Answer 2

The right answer is Its body cells would have 78 chromosomes, and its gametes would have 39 chromosomes.

Body cells excluding germ cells and embryonic cells in the early stages of development. Human somatic cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes, 46; they are called diploids.

The somatic cells of the wolf have 39 pairs of chromosomes, ie 78; they are diploid.

A gamete is a generally haploid reproductive cell specialized in fertilization, or gamy, in eukaryotes. The gametes of the wolf have 39 chromosomes (half of a somatic cell).
