Read the scenario.
even though scorpions are related to spiders, there are many differences between the two organisms. one difference is that scorpion
young do not hatch from eggs as spiders do. scorpions are born live, two at a time, and they immediately crawl onto the mother's back
for protection and care. they remain there for two weeks as they grow big enough to take care of themselves.
how do the number of chromosomes in a female scorpion's egg cells compare with the number in her somatic cells?
there are twice as many chromosomes in egg cells.
o the number of chromosomes is the same in both.
o the number of chromosomes depends on the size of the scorpion
o there are half as many chromosomes in egg cells.
