Different animals have different numbers of chromosomes. Humans have 46 chromosomes while other animals vary in the amount of chromosomes. A pig has 38 and a horse has 64. Was there as specific animal that you wanted to know about?

How many chromosomes does an animal sperm have?

n/2 where n is the total number of chromosomes normally present in that animal.For example humans have 46 chromosomes in a somatic cell, and 23 chromosomes in a germ cell (sperm / egg).Different species often have different numbers of chromosomes. In fact different numbers of chromosomes are why a donkey and a horse can mate to produce a mule, but the mule cannot reproduce.

The number of chromosomes in the present offspring during cloning is the same as the parent organism, as the offspring inherits an exact genetic copy of the parent's DNA, including the same number of chromosomes.


Do animals have an even or odd number of chromosomes?

Humans have 46 chromosomes. To be more specific, they have 22 somatic (body) chromosomes from each parent, and one sex chromosome from each parent. Added together, humans have 46 chromosomes (or 23 pairs). However different animals have different numbers of chromosmes. But under normal circumstances, each has 1 copy from each parent, and 1 copy of a sex chromosome from each parent. For instance, mice have 40 chromosomes, a horse has 64, a cat and dog both have 38, and some species of elephants have 56. It depends on the animal because each animal has a different number of chromosomes.

What is a haploid number of chromosomes?

Diploid is the full set of chromosomes - one of each from each parent. Haploid is just the set from one parent (half the total). The number varies in different animals. In humans the full diploid number is 46 and the haploid number is 23.
