An animal with a diploid number of 36 chromosomes will have ________ chromosomes in its gametes and _________ chromosomes in its somatic cells.



Answer :

An animal with a diploid of 36 chromosomes will have 18 chromosomes in its gametes and 36 chromosomes in its somatic cells.

Haploid cells only have one copy of each pair of chromosomes in their nucleus, whereas diploid cells have two complete sets. Only the gametes (sperm and egg cells) are haploid, making up the majority of human body cells. In diploid cells, chromosomes are organised in homologous pairs.

The term "diploidy" (derived from the Greek word diplous, which means "double") is used to describe the presence of two sets of chromosomes in a cell or an organism. Most living organisms have diploid genomes, and gametes are typically the only cells with haploidy (a single set of chromosomes).
