Question

a certain type of frog reproduces sexually and has 36 pairs of chromosomes in each of its body cells. how many chromosomes are in each of the frogs sex cells?
9
18
36
72

Explanation:

Body cells are diploid (\(2n\)) and sex cells (gametes) are haploid (\(n\)).
If there are \(36\) pairs of chromosomes in body cells (\(2n = 36\times2=72\)), then for sex cells (haploid), \(n=\frac{72}{2} = 36\).

Answer:

36
