Best Answer

There are 40 chromosomes in a sperm cell of a white fish because the original number of chromosomes in a body cell is 80. Since the sex cells ( sperm and egg) each must contribute a set of chromosomes to the offspring, the sperm and egg both must have 40 chromosomes so they when the sperm and egg join or combine in a process known as fertilization, the offspring will have 80 chromosomes.
