Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -SOLVED: An organism has 28 pairs of chromosomes in its diploid somatic cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -A horse has 64 chromosomes in a somatic cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: If n=14 is the chromosome number of a species, that means considering that the normal somatic cell is diploid, the chromosome number will be 2n=28. Therefore in each of the somatic cells, there will be a total of 28 chromosomes or 14 pairs of chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is a type of cell division where the number of chromosomes of the daughter cell will be same as the parent cell. If the parent cell had 14 chromosomes, then the 2 daughter cells will also have 14 chromosomes each.
