Question

What is the chromosome number of a somatic cell having two of each type of chromosome typical of the species?

Answer 1

The somatic cells have diploid number of the chromosomes of the species in pars.

Explanation:

1. The somatic cells have diploid number of chromosomes, one half from maternal and other half from paternal side.
2. The pair of chromomsomes are known as homologous pairs, Where one half is called haploid. One haploid set of the chromomsomes are separated into daughter cells during the meiotic division.
3. We can cite the example of human beings cells, where 46 is the diploid number of the chromosomes in somatic cells in 23 three pairs homologous chromosomes. Thank you
