Genetics
what would be the expected chromosome number in the somatic tissues of this alleged hybrid?
Learning Goal: I’m working on a genetics question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.You may have heard through various media of an animal alleged to be the hybrid of a rabbit and a cat. Given that the cat (Felis domesticus) has a diploid chromosome number of 38 and a rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) has a diploid chromosome number of 44, what would be the expected chromosome number in the somatic tissues of this alleged hybrid?
