How do the chromosomes in most cells of an organism, such as the leaf cells of a plant, compare to the chromosomes in its reproductive cells, which are sperm and egg cells
Chromosomes in "most cells of the organism"(somatic cells) are diploid and the chromosomes are grouped in pairs while the chromosomes in reproductive cells are not paired so there are half the number that would be found in somatic cells so the sex cells are haploid.
