How do the number of chromosomes in a female scorpion's egg cells compare with the number in her body (somatic) cells?

Question 12 options:

The number of chromosomes depends on the size of the scorpion.

There are half as many chromosomes in egg cells.

There are twice as many chromosomes in egg cells.

The number of chromosomes is the same in both.

Respuesta :
