Answer:
A Species has a diploid number of 36. Whithout meiosis, the gametes would each contain 36 chromosomes, and the fertilized ovum would have 72 chromosomes.
Explanation:
Dipliod cell contain a normal count of chromosomes. The meiosis is the reproduction and division of the sexual cell (called gametes). when a cell comes in meiosis, at the end of the meiosis has 18 chromosomes (half of the total of chromosomes and it´s called haploid). A ovum and a spermatozoon are gametes, so they have 18 chromosomes each. When fertilization happens, the chromosomes add up, so there are 36
