Why the Chimpanzee's diploid number is 24 instead of 48. I am not sure if the following table supposes me to write 2 (N) on here...

Thank you very much

It has 24 pairs and 48 number of chromosomes.

Explanation:

The Chimpanzee's diploid number of chromosome is 24 pairs instead of 48 because of the resemblance with the human cell that have 23 pairs of chromosome. The Chimpanzee has 24 pairs of chromosome or another words we can say that chimpanzee has 48 number of chromosomes not pairs. Humans have 23 pairs whereas apes have 24 pairs of chromosome. The theory suggested about this close number of chromosomes is that at some point two ape chromosomes fused to make a single human one.

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
