Afox's diploid number of chromosomes is 36. how would the number of chromosomes in the fox's body cells compare to the number of chromosomes in its gametes? (2 points) its body cells and gametes would both have 18 chromosomes.
its body cells and gametes would both have 36 chromosomes.
its body cells would have 18 chromosomes, and its gametes would have 36 chromosomes.
its body cells would have 36 chromosomes, and its gametes would have 18 chromosomes.

its body cells would have 36 chromosomes and its gametes would have 18 chromosomes

Explanation: gametes have half diploid number of body cells' chromosomes so that the original number of chromosomes is restored when fertilization of male and female sex cells take place hence forming a normal zygote.

The correct answer is D. Its body cells would have 36 chromosomes, and its gametes would have 18 chromosomes.

Explanation:

This is because you always divide the diploid number of chromosomes in half to get the gametes amount of chromosomes.

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
