Step-by-step solution
3 stepsUnderstand the relationship between chromosome numbers in different cell types.
- The "Sex chromosomes" column is interpreted as the haploid number (), which is the number of chromosomes found in gametes (sex cells).
- The "Skin" and "Cardiac muscle" columns represent somatic cells, which are diploid (), meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes.
- The relationship is .
Fill in the table for each organism.
-
Man:
- Humans have a diploid number () of 46 chromosomes in somatic cells and a haploid number () of 23 chromosomes in gametes.
- The given value for "Cardiac muscle" for Man is 3. This is biologically incorrect for the total number of chromosomes in a human cardiac muscle cell, which should be 46. Assuming this is an error in the question, we will use the correct biological value.
- Sex chromosomes (): 23
- Skin (): 46
- Cardiac muscle (): 46 (using the correct biological value)
-
Mouse:
- Given: Sex chromosomes () = 20.
- Diploid number () = .
- Skin (): 40
- Cardiac muscle (): 40
-
Rhesus monkey:
- Given: Skin () = 42.
- Haploid number () = .
- Sex chromosomes (): 21
- Cardiac muscle (): 42
-
Complete the table with the calculated values.
