If a liver cell has 10 chromosomes, how many does a sperm cell have from the same species?

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction :-

Sperm cells are the male reproductive cells or gametes in sexually reproducing organisms. In humans, sperm cells are produced in the testes through a process called spermatogenesis. Each sperm cell is haploid, meaning it contains half the number of chromosomes as a normal body cell, which in humans is 23 chromosomes
