Sperm cells of a specific species of mice have 16 chromosomes. What is the expected number of chromosomes in an adult mouse of this species?

32 chromosomes (16 pair)

Explanation:

Gametes or sex cells of sexually reproducing organisms are produced via a process called MEIOSIS, which is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosomal number of the parent cell by half. Hence, a mice that produces a sperm cell (gametes) via meiosis with 16 chromosomes will have double that amount in somatic cells of that mouse.

That is, the expected number of chromosomes in an adult mouse of this species with 16 chromosome in its sperm cell is 32 since half of this number makes up the chromosomal number in gametes

stimulus is a change in the environment that causes an organism to react. the response is the reaction to the stimulus. some examples of stimuli for zebras are drought, to many predators, and bad feeding grounds such as dead grass or plants. zebras respond to stimuli just like all other living organisms
