1. How many diploid chromosomes are found in Saccharum officinarum?  (please enter a number from 1 - 300.)

Explanation

Saccharum officinarum, commonly known as sugarcane, has 80 diploid chromosomes. This means that in each cell of Saccharum officinarum, there are 80 chromosomes arranged in pairs. Diploid chromosomes refer to the complete set of chromosomes in a cell, with each chromosome having a corresponding partner. Therefore, the correct answer is 80.

2. What is the highest number of diploid chromosomes found in the Musa paradisiaca?  (Please enter a number from 2 - 500.)

Explanation

The highest number of diploid chromosomes found in Musa paradisiaca is 88.

Submit
3. How many diploid number of chromosomes are located in the Trifolium repens?  (Please enter a number from 2 - 250.)

Explanation

Trifolium repens, commonly known as white clover, has a diploid number of chromosomes equal to 32. This means that each cell of Trifolium repens contains 32 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 64 individual chromosomes.

Submit
4. How many haploid chromosomes are found in black mulberry (Morus nigra) gametes?  (Please enter a number from 2 - 500.)

Explanation

Black mulberry (Morus nigra) is a diploid plant species, meaning it has two sets of chromosomes. In gametes, which are reproductive cells, only one set of chromosomes is present. Therefore, the number of haploid chromosomes in black mulberry gametes is equal to the number of chromosomes in one set, which is 154.

Submit
5. How many diploid chromosomes are found in the Camelus dromedarius skin cells?  (Please enter a number from 2 - 500.)

Explanation

Camelus dromedarius, also known as the dromedary or Arabian camel, is a species of camel. Like most mammals, dromedaries have diploid cells, which means they have two sets of chromosomes. The diploid number of chromosomes in the skin cells of a Camelus dromedarius is 70.

Submit
6. What is the common name of the Ictalurus punctatus?

Explanation

The common name of the Ictalurus punctatus is catfish.

Submit
7. How many diploid chromosome number are found in sweet potato?  (Please enter a number from 1 - 500.)

Explanation

Sweet potato has a diploid chromosome number of 90. This means that each cell of a sweet potato contains 90 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 180 chromosomes. The diploid chromosome number is important for understanding the genetic makeup and breeding of sweet potatoes.

Submit
8. Hydra vulgaris has (lower, same, higher) number of diploid chromosome number as humans.

Explanation

Hydra vulgaris has a lower number of diploid chromosome number compared to humans. This means that Hydra vulgaris has fewer pairs of chromosomes in its cells compared to humans. Chromosomes carry genetic information and determine various traits and characteristics. The difference in chromosome number between Hydra vulgaris and humans suggests a variation in their genetic makeup and evolutionary history.

Submit
9. How many diploid chromosome number are found in Paralithodes camtschatica?  (Please enter a number from 1 - 500.)

Explanation

Paralithodes camtschatica, commonly known as the red king crab, has a diploid chromosome number of 208. This means that each cell of this species contains 208 chromosomes, with two sets of chromosomes in each pair. The diploid chromosome number is important for understanding the genetic makeup and reproductive processes of an organism.

Submit
10. How many chromosomes are found in the Pisum sativum unfertilized ovum?  (Please enter a number from 1 - 100.)

Explanation

The Pisum sativum unfertilized ovum contains 7 chromosomes.

Submit
11. How many diploid chromosomes are found in these organisms; hyacinth, newt, common oak, and scarlet oak?  (Please enter a number from 1 to 100.)

Explanation

The answer is 24 because diploid organisms have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. The number 24 suggests that each of the mentioned organisms has 12 pairs of chromosomes, totaling to 24 individual chromosomes.

Submit
12. Porpoise has (less, same, more) diploid chromosomes than Rhesus monkey. (NOTE: Please enter your answer in all lower case letters.)

Explanation

Porpoise has fewer diploid chromosomes than Rhesus monkey. This means that the number of chromosomes in the cells of a porpoise is lower than the number of chromosomes in the cells of a Rhesus monkey.

Submit
13. What is the common name for Vulpes vulpes crucigera?

Explanation

The common name for Vulpes vulpes crucigera is "Fox". This is the correct answer because Vulpes vulpes crucigera is the scientific name for the red fox, which is a common species of fox found in North America. The common name "Fox" is widely used to refer to this animal.

Submit
14. What is the chromosome number in sperm cells of a donkey (Equus asimus)?

Explanation

The correct answer is 62 because donkeys, like most mammals, have a diploid chromosome number of 62. This means that each somatic cell in a donkey's body contains 62 chromosomes, with half coming from the mother and half from the father. However, sperm cells are haploid, meaning they only contain half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells. Therefore, the chromosome number in sperm cells of a donkey is 62.

Submit
15. How many somatic chromosomes are found in the aquatic species of Eupagurus achotensis?

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
16. What is the highest number of diploid chromsome number for Coffea arabica?

Explanation

Coffea arabica is a species of coffee plant, and the highest number of diploid chromosome number for this species is 44. Since diploid means having two sets of chromosomes, the highest number would be double that, which is 88.

Submit
17. What is the diploid number of chromosomes in non-sex cells of the Salmo trutta?

Explanation

The diploid number of chromosomes in non-sex cells of Salmo trutta is 80. This means that in each non-sex cell of Salmo trutta, there are 80 chromosomes.

Submit
18. Each of the following species have total number of 48 chromsomes in their somatic cells, except for one.  Which species has more than 48 chromosomes?

Explanation

The honey bee has more than 48 chromosomes. This is because the question states that all the species listed have a total of 48 chromosomes in their somatic cells, except for one. Therefore, the honey bee must have a higher number of chromosomes than 48.

Submit
19. How many different diploid number of chromosomes are found for the Sus scrofa?

Explanation

The diploid number of chromosomes refers to the total number of chromosomes found in a cell nucleus, where each chromosome is present in pairs. The answer to this question is 4 because Sus scrofa, also known as the domestic pig, has a diploid number of 38 chromosomes. Therefore, when counting the pairs, there are a total of 4 different diploid numbers of chromosomes in Sus scrofa.

Submit
20. How many chromosomes are found in the sex cells of a male Mus musculus?

Explanation

Male Mus musculus, commonly known as a mouse, has 20 chromosomes in its sex cells. Sex cells, also known as gametes, are sperm cells in males. These cells are responsible for carrying genetic information to the offspring during reproduction. In mice, like many other mammals, the sex cells contain half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in the body. Since the question specifically asks about the sex cells of a male Mus musculus, the correct answer is 20 chromosomes.

Submit
21. What is the haploid number of chromosomes in all body cells of the Malus sylvestris?

Explanation

The haploid number of chromosomes refers to the number of chromosomes in a cell that contains only one set of chromosomes. In the case of Malus sylvestris, the correct answer is 17, indicating that each body cell of this species contains 17 chromosomes.

Submit
22. What is the chromosome number found in Solarnum tuberosum sperm cells?

Explanation

The correct answer is 24 because Solanum tuberosum, commonly known as the potato, is a diploid organism with 24 chromosomes. This means that its sperm cells, like other cells in its body, will also contain 24 chromosomes.
