Horses typically have 64 chromosomes in their somatic cells, which means they have 32 chromosome pairs. Each parent contributes one set of 32 chromosomes to the offspring.
Regarding wheat, which has 42 chromosomes, the number of chromosomes in the egg and pollen varies. During sexual reproduction, the egg and pollen cells undergo meiosis, a process that reduces the number of chromosomes by half. In this case, the egg and pollen cells would each have 21 chromosomes, which is half of the total number found in a somatic cell of wheat.
