A wolf's diploid number of chromosomes is 78. How would the number of chromosomes in the wolf's body cells compare to the number of chromosomes in its gametes

Answer: The number of chromosomes in the wolf's body cells is 78 while the gametes has 39

Explanation:

Since each body cell under only mitosis to yield two daughter cells with equal number of chromosome as the parent cell (i. e diploid number, 2n) while sex cells undergo meiosis to yield four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell (i. e haploid number, n); thus, the wolf's body cells has 78 chromosomes while the gametes has 39 chromosomes.

Its body cells would have 78 chromosomes, and its gametes would have 39 chromosomes.
