Gibbon Sperm Chromosome Count: Understanding Genetic Biology

Science >> Science Discoveries > >> Biology

Gibbons have 24 chromosomes in their somatic (body) cells.

Sperm cells are haploid, meaning they have half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. Therefore, a gibbon sperm cell would have 12 chromosomes.
