An elephant sperm cell contains 28 chromosomes. How many chromosomes would be in an elephant liver cell?

Answers 2

Answer:

An elephant liver cell has 56 chromosomes.

Explanation:

The exact number of chromosomes typical for a given species represents its chromosome number. The chromosome number is always the same in an asexually reproducing organism. However, the number of chromosomes in the body cells or somatic cells is usually diploid i.e., 2n (a pair of each chromosome). This number is typically twice the haploid number (1n) which is found in the gametes or sex cells. Thus an elephant with 28 chromosomes in its sperm cells would be having 56 chromosomes in its liver cell.

The elephant liver cell has 56 chromosomes.

Explanation:

  • A chromosome is simply an organized structure that aids in the protection of DNA from damage.
  • An elephant's somatic cells contain 56 chromosomes.
  • This means that an elephant has 28 pairs of chromosomes, whereas humans only have 23 pairs.
  • By splitting into two cells, a bacterium can reproduce quickly.
  • Because the diploid cell of an elephant has 56 chromosomes, the daughter cell of mitosis will also have 56 chromosomes because it is a diploid cell.
