we know prior work that the raptors have 6 chromosomes in their body cells. This means that their egg and sperm have _____ chromosomes each.

three

six

Respuesta :

Three chromosomes each.

Explanation:

  • Egg and sperm are gametes.
  • Gametes are produced by meiosis, the cell division that reduces the chromosome number to Half.
  • The Gametes need to be Haploid so that the Chromosome number of the species is maintained. Otherwise the Chromosome number would have doubled in each progeny.
  • Thus, clearly we can conclude that the eggs and sperms of raptors have three chromosomes each.
