Which diagram shows what happens to the number of chromosomes in the muscle cells of a chimpanzee when a single muscle cell divides to form two muscle cells?
- Diagram 1 shows what happens to the number of chromosomes in the muscle cells of a chimpanzee when one muscle cell divides to form two muscle cells.
- Diagram 2 shows what happens to the number of chromosomes in the muscle cells of a chimpanzee when one muscle cell divides to form two muscle cells.
- Diagram 1 shows what happens to the number of chromosomes in the muscle cells of a chimpanzee and Diagram 2 shows what happens to the number of chromosomes when all the other types of cells in the chimp's body divide.
- Neither diagram shows what happens to the number of chromosomes of the muscle cells of a chimpanzee when one muscle cell divides to form two muscle cells.
