Hyenas are diploid organisms, and their gametes contain 20 chromosomes. Fill in the blank in each sentences using the terms below. Each term may be used more than once or not at all. When the somatic cells of a hyena are in interphase, the ploidy level is denoted as The ploidy level of the hyena\'s gametes is denoted as The 2n number of a hyena is 40 20 1n 80 2n Solution When the somatic cells of hyena in interphase = diploid [2n] because they are not divided and tend to divide by preparing enzymes and multiplying DNA. The ploidy level of hyena is haploid or 1n because they are developed through meiosis process. The 2n number of chromosomes of hyena is 40 because gametes are haploid so n=20 [as given] and the 2n = 2x 20 = 40.
