___________________________=N

Answer 1

Skin cell has 10 chromosomes.

Sperm cell has 5 chromosomes.

egg cells has 5 chromosomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the fruit fly egg has 5 chromosomes, then the skin has 10 chromosomes because skin has diploid i. e. double number of chromosome. There is always haploid or half number of chromosome present in the sex cells such as sperm and egg cells of any organism. When the sperm and egg cells fuse together they formed the organism which is a diploid i. e. double number of chromosome.
