There are 26 chromosomes in the somatic cells of the Leopard Frog. The DIPLOID number of the Leopard Frog is:
A
26
B
13
C
52
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In a leopard frog, their body cells have 26 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The diploid chromosome number for the body cells of a frog is 26. What would that number be after three generations if meiosis did not occur before gamete formation? For the first generation, the frogs would have the usual 26 chromosomes in the diploid stage.

Detailed explanation-3: -This cell undergoes mitosis. How many of each chromosomes does each daughter cell contain? * A skin cell of a frog contains 26 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Through the process of meiotic division, a diploid cell gives rise to four haploid cells. However, during the process of reproduction the haploid cells unite to form a diploid zygote. If any organism has a haploid of 24 chromosomes, the total number of chromosomes in its diploid stage will be 48 chromosomes ( 24x2)
