Question: how many chromosomes will be in each sperm cell of a male cat?
Answer: Chromosomes are found in pairs within the cell. Each cell contains two separate copies of each gene (alleles). While a human has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), a cat has 38 chromosomes (19 pairs) and a dog has 78 chromosomes (39 pairs). The exception to this rule is sperm cells and egg cells.
