Llamas have sexual reproduction. Some types of llamas have 74 chromosomes. That is how many chromosomes are in their somatic (body) cells. How many chromosomes would be found in their gametes?

Answer: 37 chromosomes.

Explanation: As is typical of mammals, llamas are diploid organisms, meaning that the number of chromosomes in each of their somatic cells is exactly twice of that found in the gametes (the so-called haploid number, referred to as "n"). If a particular species has 74 chromosomes in its somatic cells, we should expect to find 74/2=37 chromosomes in each gamete.

Sexual reproduction occurs as a result of the fertilization of the gametic counterparts of two different sexes (males and females).

Some types of llamas have 74 chromosomes (diploid). The number of chromosomes that would be found in their body cells would be 32 single chromosomes (haploid cells).

  • Organisms undergo growth division process of mitosis and meiosis.
  • Mitosis occurs in the body cells producing the exact number of diploid cells from parent cell.
  • Meiosis is a reductional division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the gamete cells by half.
  • This is to ensure that the fertilization of the egg gamete (haploid) and the sperm cell (haploid) yields a diploid zygote.
