Male donkeys have 62 chromosomes in an eye cell. How many chromosomes would be found in a female donkeys egg?
Answer: 62
Normally, pigs have 38 chromosomes in each somatic cell. How many chromosomes are there in a cell that has gone through meiosis?
Answer: 19
How many homologous chromosomes pairs are there in a dog's somatic cell that had 78 chromosomes?
Answer: 78
1. wrong, eye cells are somatic, while egg cells are not.
2. correct.
3. wrong. 78 homologous pairs would equal 156 total chromosomes.
So the female donkeys eggs would equal 31
yes
Actually dog's somatic cells has 78 chromosomes so there will 78 pairs of homologous chromosomes
To get the answer to the question about the number of chromosomes in a female donkey's egg, you need to understand the concept of meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in the reproductive cells, such as eggs and sperm, and results in the formation of haploid cells. Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes compared to the original parent cell.
In donkeys, male and female individuals typically have the same number of chromosomes in their somatic (non-reproductive) cells. Therefore, if a male donkey has 62 chromosomes in an eye cell, a female donkey would also have 62 chromosomes in her eggs.
Moving on to the question about pigs and the number of chromosomes in a cell that has gone through meiosis, it's important to note that meiosis halves the number of chromosomes. So, if a pig has 38 chromosomes in each somatic cell, after meiosis, the resulting cells will have 19 chromosomes. This is because meiosis involves two rounds of cell division, resulting in the formation of four haploid cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes.
Lastly, considering the question about the number of homologous chromosome pairs in a dog's somatic cell that originally had 78 chromosomes, it's important to understand that homologous chromosomes are paired chromosomes, with one chromosome inherited from each parent. Since the dog's somatic cell initially had 78 chromosomes, there would be 39 homologous chromosome pairs in that cell. This is because each homologous chromosome pair consists of two chromosomes, making a total of double the number of pairs compared to the individual chromosomes.
