The common housefly, musca domestica, has 12 chromosomes.
5 homologous chromosomes are in a fruit fly somatic cells.
there is 4 pairs of chromosomes in each cell for a fly!
I think its 24 because the muscle cell of a housefly contains 24 chromosomes and every body cells have an equal number of chromosomes.
4
a fruit fly has 4 pairs of chromosomes in every cell apart from gametes and usual exceptions.. red blood cells (no nucleus) etc
Hamster sex cells have 22 chromosomes each.
If a fruit fly gamete contains 4 chromosomes, then a body cell of a fruit fly would typically contain 8 chromosomes. This is because the gamete only contains half the number of chromosomes found in a normal body cell, following the principle of haploid and diploid states of cells in sexual reproduction.
there are 8 chromosomes in an adult house fly.
A house fly (Musca domestica) has 6 pairs of chromosomes, totaling 12 chromosomes in total.
The haploid number of chromosomes in a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) is 4. This means that each cell in a fruit fly contains 4 chromosomes, with two homologous pairs.
Four each.If an organism is diploid, its cells contain two sets of chromosomes, one set from each parent. The fruit fly (Drosophila) is diploid.
4 as a house fly has 8 chromosomes therefore the sperm would have 4 as they are haploid and do not contain pairs. Gametes (sex cells) always are haploid, so therefore the sperm cell or the egg cell contains half the number of the chromosomes in the rest of the cells.
