A sperm or oocyte of the diploid species would contain 42 chromosomes, as they are haploid cells with half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. This is due to the process of meiosis where the number of chromosomes is halved to create sex cells.
A hamster has a total of 44 chromosomes in its somatic cells. However, the sex cells of a hamster (sperm and egg cells) would each have 22 chromosomes. This is because during meiosis, the number of chromosomes is halved to ensure the correct number is restored upon fertilization.
Milk does not contain cells as it is a liquid, but it does contain tiny fragments of cells called somatic cells. These somatic cells may contain some residual DNA but do not have fully intact chromosomes like those found in whole cells.
A typical body cell (somatic cell) of wheat will also have 42 chromosomes, as the chromosome number is consistent across most cells in an organism.
The number of chromosomes in root, stem, and leaf cells of the plant would also be 20. This is because the haploid number of chromosomes remains consistent throughout all somatic cells of the same organism.
If a somatic cell has 30 chromosomes, then the gametes produced by that cell would contain 15 chromosomes. Gametes, like sperm and egg cells, are haploid cells containing half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells, which are diploid.
Diploid cells contain 2 complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. an example would be somatic cells. Haploid cells are cells that contain 1 set of unpaired chromosomes of half the number of chromosomes as a somatic cell.

Cells undergoing meiosis will result in cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In the case of a dog with a diploid number of 78 chromosomes, the resulting cells after meiosis will have 39 chromosomes each. Cells undergoing mitosis will result in cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
In the sex cells of a dogfish shark, there would typically be 12 chromosomes. This is because sex cells, such as sperm and eggs, are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. Since muscle cells in the dogfish shark contain 24 chromosomes, their sex cells would contain half that number.
Gametes, such as eggs and sperm, are haploid, not diploid. Diploid would be somatic cells, such as skin cells or brain cells.
If the gametes have the same number of chromosomes as the species' body cells, then fertilization would result in a zygote with double the normal number of chromosomes. This condition, known as polyploidy, can lead to genetic abnormalities and reduced fertility in offspring. It can also potentially result in speciation, as the offspring may not be able to reproduce with the parent species.
A hamster has a total of 44 chromosomes in its somatic cells. However, the sex cells of a hamster (sperm and egg cells) would each have 22 chromosomes. This is because during meiosis, the number of chromosomes is halved to ensure the correct number is restored upon fertilization.
Milk does not contain cells as it is a liquid, but it does contain tiny fragments of cells called somatic cells. These somatic cells may contain some residual DNA but do not have fully intact chromosomes like those found in whole cells.
Gametes (sperm and egg cells) have only 23 unpaired chromosomes, which is half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. This allows for the proper number of chromosomes to be restored during fertilization when the sperm and egg combine.
If both parents were diploid, then it would be tetraploid (4X).
