Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the egg (ovum) of a rabbit is a gamete, which means it is a haploid cell containing half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells.
Recognize that somatic cells are diploid, meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
Given that the egg contains 22 chromosomes, this represents the haploid number (n) for rabbits.
To find the diploid number (2n), which is the number of chromosomes in somatic cells, multiply the haploid number by 2.
Calculate the diploid number: 2n = 2 * 22. This will give you the total number of chromosomes in the somatic cells of a rabbit.
