How many chromosomes are there in each horses body cells?
It will depend on the animal - the number of chromosomes varies from species to species. Somatic cells are non-sex cells. This means that in sexually reproducing animals, somatic cells usually have 2 pairs of chromosomes (they are called diploid cells). Human somatic cells have 46 (23 pairs of) chromosomes. Cat somatic cells have 38 (19 pairs of) chromosomes. Dogs have 78 (39 pairs of) chromosomes.
How many chromosomes do dogs have?
Dogs have 37 pairs of chromosomes. As with pairs of shoes, the number of pairs is multiplied by 2 to get the total number of chromosomes in a dog's body cells. Therefore, the total number of chromosomes in a dog's body cells is 76. Sex cells, (sperm or eggs) have half of the pair, so would have 34 chromosomes. ________ The above is incorrect, dogs have 78 chromosomes meaning they have 39 pairs.

Yes. The last I knew (but my information is about 15 years old), Down Syndrome is the only chromosomal deffect that they believe can affect all mammals.
