Question

A certain type of frog reproduces sexually and has 36 pairs of chromosomes in each of its body cells. How many chromosomes are in each of the frog’s sex cells?

Answer 1

36

Explanation:

Sex cells are different from body cells. Sex cells are made up of haploid number of cells. A haploid cell is half the original number of cell. When sex cell combines, they fuse and unite the half number of cells to form a single diploid which makes a complete body cell by a series of process.

All sex cells only contains half the number of cells in their parent.
