Question

1. a leopard frog has 13 gametes. how many are in the skin cell?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the relationship between gametes and somatic cells

Gametes are haploid (\(n\)) and somatic cells (like skin cells) are diploid (\(2n\)).

Step2: Calculate the number of chromosomes in skin cells

Given \(n = 13\) (number of chromosomes in gametes), for diploid cells \(2n=2\times13\).

Answer:

26
