If their sperm contain 32 chromosomes, how many chromosomes do diploid cells in horses contain?
64
In horses, the diploid cells contain twice the number of chromosomes as in their haploid sex cells. If the sperm of the horse contains 32 chromosomes, it means the haploid chromosome number in horses is 32.
Therefore, to determine the diploid chromosome number, we multiply the haploid number by 2. Hence, the diploid chromosome number in horses will be 2 x 32 = 64 chromosomes.
So, the diploid cells in horses contain 64 chromosomes.
