The artic fox has 50 chromosomes and the common red fox has

The artic fox has 50 chromosomes and the common red fox has 38. These species can interbreed to produce viable but infertile ofrspring.

A. How many chromosomes would occur of: 1) Artic fox ___ 2) Red fox___

B. How many chromosomes would the infertile offspring have?

C. What promlems do you think may occur during meiosis that would explain the hybrid offsprings infertility?

A. How many chromosomes would occur of:

1) Arctic fox =25 2) Red fox= 19

B. How many chromosomes would the infertile offspring have?

25 + 19 = 44

C. What problems do you think may occur during meiosis that would explain the hybrid offsprings infertility?

Chromosome number halves during meiosis after tetrad. Even chromosome number doesn\'t help if they are not each homologous with another chromosome.
