A turkey sperm cell contains 80 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will be found in a turkey muscle cell?
A
40
B
80
C
120
D
160
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Coral reefs are an example of budding. The body cells of a turkey have 80 chromosomes each. 40 chromosomes would be found in a male turkey’s sperm. This production of gametes occurs throughout their entire lifetime.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis & Mitosis | Genetics Quiz-Quizizz. Q. A turkey sperm cell contains 80 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -If a cell with 80 chromosomes undergoes mitosis, the daughter cell will also have 80 chromosomes. The daughter cells will be genetically identical to one another. In contrast, a cell with 80 chromosomes would have 160 chromatids prior to mitosis. This number would halve after mitosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Introduction. Chromatin is packed in a specific way into the 23 chromosomes inside human spermatozoa.

Detailed explanation-5: -So, if there are a total of 78 chromosomes then half of its number (half of 78) is 39 chromosomes are present in the female gamete or egg cell. So, the egg cell will have 39 numbers of chromosomes. Therefore, the answer is 39 chromosomes would be present in its egg cell.
