almost all salamanders have 24 chromosomes. I don't believe it is any different for the "spotted"- most likely wild type- creature you have described.


In an ovum the number of chromosomes could best be described as?

In an ovum, the number of chromosomes is haploid, meaning it contains half the number of chromosomes found in other cells of the body. This is because during the process of meiosis, the ovum undergoes division to reduce the number of chromosomes by half in preparation for fertilization.


Why is meiosis described as a precess of reduction division?

Because the chromosomes are reduced from 2n to n. From diploid( sister chromatids ) to haploid ( one chromosome ).

Who discovered chromosome?

Chromosomes were first discovered by the scientist Walter Flemming in the late 19th century. Flemming observed and described the thread-like structures in the nucleus of cells, which we now know to be chromosomes.


If the liver cell of an animal have 24 chromosomes how many chromosomes do its sperm cells have?

Body cells, like liver cells, are diploid. This means they have pairs of chromosomes. In this example the diploid number of chromosomes is 24. In sperm cells (or egg cells) the number of chromosomes is halved. This is described as the haploidnumber. In this example the haploid number would be 24/2 = 12. So the number of chromosomes in the sperm cells would be 12.


What did walter fleming identify during cell divison?

Walter Fleming identified and described structures within cells that he called chromatin and mitotic spindle during cell division. He observed these structures under the microscope and their role in the process of cell division, particularly in the separation of chromosomes.
