If the sperm of an animal contains 5 chromosomes, which of the following is true?*1 pointThe animal’s cells normally contain 10 homologous chromosome pairs.There are 20 sister chromatids per cell in the G2 phase.The animal normally has 5 chromosomes in its body cells.Each sperm cell contains 10 sister chromatids.

The correct answer is "The animal normally has 5 chromosomes in its body cells."

Here's why:

1. Sperm cells are haploid cells, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes as a normal body cell (which are diploid). This is because they are used for sexual reproduction, and when they combine with another haploid cell (the egg), the resulting offspring has the correct number of chromosomes.

2. If a sperm cell of an animal contains 5 chromosomes, that means the normal body cells of that animal contain 10 chromosomes (5 pairs).

3. The statement "The animal’s cells normally contain 10 homologous chromosome pairs" is incorrect because the animal's cells would contain 5 pairs (10 chromosomes total), not 10 pairs.

4. The statement "There are 20 sister chromatids per cell in the G2 phase" is incorrect because in the G2 phase of the cell cycle, there would be 20 chromatids (10 pairs), not 20 pairs.

5. The statement "Each sperm cell contains 10 sister chromatids" is incorrect because each sperm cell would contain 5 chromosomes, not 10 chromatids.

The correct answer is "The animal normally has 5 chromosomes in its body cells."

This is because they are used for sexual reproduction, and when they combine with another haploid cell (the egg), the resulting offspring has the correct number of chromosomes.

2. So, if a sperm cell of an animal contains 5 chromosomes, that means the normal body cells of that animal contain 10 chromosomes (5 pairs).

3. The statement "The animal’s cells normally contain 10 homologous chromosome pairs" is incorrect because the animal's cells would contain 5 pairs (10 chromosomes total), not 10 pairs.

4. The statement "There are 20 sister chromatids per cell in the G2 phase" is incorrect because in the G2 phase of the cell cycle, there would be 20 chromatids (10 pairs), not 20 pairs.

5. The statement "Each sperm cell contains 10 sister chromatids" is incorrect because each sperm cell would contain 5 chromosomes, not 10 chromatids.
