Answer:
Explanation:
In a mitotic cell division, the number of chromosomes remains constant. It is so because the chromosomes are replicated to produce chromatid which during cell division is equally distributed in all the daughter cells thereby preserving the chromosome number.Both sperm cell and ovum have 23 chromosomes each. It is the fusion of both at fertilization that brings about 46chromosomes seen in somatic cells. These chromosomes are 22pair somatic chromosomes and a pair of sex chromosome (I.e XX or XY).The cells of the body have a diploid number of chromosomes (2N). The diploid number is usually double the haploid number (1N), so if the haploid number of chromosomes is 20, then 2x20=40. So the answer either 40 or 36
To determine the number of sex chromosomes that are there in a ferret's ovum is 2 sex chromosomes.
Given the following data:
Sex chromosomes can be defined as a pair of chromosomes that are responsible for determining the gender of a living organism i.e whether an organism is either male or female.
To determine the number of sex chromosomes that are there in a ferret's ovum:
Mathematically, the number of chromosomes in an organism is given by the formula:
[tex]Chromosomes = 2N[/tex]
Where:
Substituting the given parameter into the formula, we have;
[tex]40 =2N\\\\N=\frac{40}{2}[/tex]
N = 2 sex chromosomes
