  • Chromosome Number in Body Cells from Gametes with 25 Chromosomes
    Here's how to figure that out:

    * Gametes are sex cells (sperm and egg) that have half the number of chromosomes as regular body cells.

    * Body cells are called somatic cells and contain the full set of chromosomes.

    Since the gametes have 25 chromosomes, the body cells will have twice that number.

    Therefore, the organism will have 50 chromosomes in its body cells.
