Fruit flies have 8 chromosomes in their body cells, while dandelion cells have 16 chromosomes. Which species do you predict makes the more genetically varied offspring?

Respuesta :

Answer:

I think this might be the answer

Explanation: The answer is the same for every diploid species. It is half the number of chromosomes in somatic (body) cells. The number of cells in gametes (sex cells) is n and the number in somatic cells is 2n. For fruit flies gametes have 4 chromosomes, for mice, 20, for humans 23, for chimpanzees 24.

Hope this helps and stay safe.
