Question

A fox's diploid number of chromosomes is 36. How would the number of chromosomes in the fox's body cells compare to the number of chromosomes in its gametes?

Answer 1

Its body cells and gametes would both have 18 chromosomes.
Its body cells and gametes would both have 36 chromosomes.
Its body cells would have 18 chromosomes, and its gametes would have 36 chromosomes.
Its body cells would have 36 chromosomes, and its gametes would have 18 chromosomes.

Answer 3

Diploid somatic cells contain two copies of each chromosome while haploid gametes contain only one copy of each chromosome. Because the somatic cells have 36 chromosomes, the haploid gametes will contain 18.

so the last one

Answer 4

Some organisms undergo asexual reproduction through mitosis, while others reproduce sexually, and their cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes. If there were drastic changes in temperature in an ecosystem, which process do you predict would be most beneficial to a species? (2 points)

Mitosis: it causes genetic mutations, which may be favorable to the species.
Meiosis: it increases genetic variation, which helps ensure the species will survive.
Meiosis: it produces more daughter cells, which increases the population of the species.
Mitosis: it produces identical offspring, which increases genetic variation.
