Joel is comparing two slides showing chromosomes in a sperm cell and a skin cell of a dog. He finds that the sperm cell has 39 chromosomes. How many chromosomes can he expect in the skin cell?

Verified Answer :

Since a sperm cell contains half the number of chromosomes (a result of meiotic cellular division) as the body cells, the regular, diploid, cells would contain 78 chromosomes. You simply double the haploid to find the diploid or divide the diploid in half to find the haploid.
