I think its 24 because the muscle cell of a housefly contains 24 chromosomes and every body cells have an equal number of chromosomes.
diploid, except for its gametes, which are haploid
A house fly diploid cell has 12 chromosomes, two sets of six.
A House Fly has 8 chromosomes
haploid
diploid 12

23. Germ cells (sperm and egg cells) are haploid, which is to say they possess half of the total number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. Somatic cells in humans have two sets of 23 unique chromosomes for a total of 46 chromosomes.
will assume that you mean human cells. Somatic cells are diploid (2n), containing two sets of chromosomes, one of paternal, one of maternal origin. Gametes, on the other hand, are haploid (n), with a single set of chromosomes, ie. half as many as the somatic cell. Now, the haploid chromosome number (n) is characteristic of the species, and in humans this number happens to be 23. Therefore a human gamete has 23 chromosomes, and a human somatic cell 23 pairs, or 46 chromosomes.
An ootid is a haploid cell, which means that it contains half the number of chromosomes as the original diploid cell. In a human, an ootid would have 23 chromosomes.
16 (haploid number = n, and diploid number =2n) so if n=8, the diploid number is 2x8 = 16
A human diploid cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes.
There are 38 chromosomes in a cat's diploid cell. Diploid cells always have an even number of chromosomes because they exist in pairs.
46
The domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris has a diploid number of 78 chromosomes.
56 chromosomes

a liver cell wil be diploid and an egg cell will be haploid (ie half of what a diploid cell has) so there would be 10 chromosomes in the egg cell
A gamete has half the number of chromosomes of the somatic (diploid) cell. Therefore a zebra gamete would have 25 chromosomes if 50 is the diploid number.
24
A fox has a diploid number of 50, meaning that in every cell there are 50 chromosomes. Thus, the haploid sperm cell only has 25 chromosomes.
23 chromosomes
