How many chromosomes are normally found in each of its sex cells if a dogfish shark contains 24 chromosomes in each of its muscle cells?

In the sex cells of a dogfish shark, there would typically be 12 chromosomes. This is because sex cells, such as sperm and eggs, are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. Since muscle cells in the dogfish shark contain 24 chromosomes, their sex cells would contain half that number.
