3. Different organisms have different numbers of chromosomes. Answer all parts of this question for animal cells that have a diploid (2n) number of 26 chromosomes. a. How many chromosomes would be present in an egg from this organism? b. Is an egg haploid or diploid? Is it a somatic cell or a gamete? c. How many chromosomes would be present in a nerve cell from this organism? d. Is a nerve cell haploid or diploid? Is it a somatic cell or a gamete? 4. Different organisms have different numbers of chromosomes. Answer all parts of this question for animal cells that have a diploid (2n) number of 26 chromosomes. a. How many chromatids are present in a somatic cell from this organism if the cell is in prophase? (Note that this is the total number of chromatids in the cell, not chromatids per chromosome). b. Is the somatic cell in prophase haploid or diploid? c. How many chromatids would be present in a germ-line cell from this organism if the cell is in prophase II? (Note that a germ-line cell is what we call those cells that are ""destined"" to become gametes. Again, this is the total number of chromatids in the cell, not chromatids per chromosome). d. Is the germ-line cell in prophase II haploid or diploid?

Step 1
Therefore, the egg would have 13 chromosomes. Step 2: An egg is haploid because it contains half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell. It is a gamete, specifically a female gamete. Step 3: In a nerve cell from the same organism with 26 chromosomes, Show more…
