Detailed explanation-1: -A horse has 64 chromosomes in a somatic cell. How many chromosomes would you expect to find in a gamete: 128.
Detailed explanation-2: -If the chromosome number of a diploid somatic cell is 2n = 32, then the chromosome number in the gametic cell is half of the diploid chromosomes. Thus, the number of chromosomes in the gamete is 32/2 =16.
Detailed explanation-3: -A Horse Sperm Cell Has A Haploid Number Of 32 Chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: At the beginning of meiosis, the dividing cell is diploid (2n). In this case, the cell contains 64 chromosomes. At the completion of meiosis I, the first round of meiosis, the resulting two daughter cells are haploid (n); they now contain 32 chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-5: -Counting chromosomes A horse has 64 chromosomes and a donkey has 62. A mule inherits 32 horse chromosomes from mom and 31 donkey chromosomes from dad, for a total of 63 chromosomes. To understand why this is a problem, we need to understand how sperm and eggs are made.
