To match the chromosome numbers of diploid and haploid cells, we need to understand the difference between diploid and haploid cells. Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes, while haploid cells have only one set.<br /><br />Let's analyze each statement:<br /><br />1. Baby sharks are born with 82 chromosomes in their gill cells. The gametes that produced the baby sharks have 41 chromosomes.<br /> - Explanation: Since baby sharks have 82 chromosomes in their gill cells (which are diploid), the gametes (sperm or egg cells) that produced the baby sharks must have half the number of chromosomes, which is 41 (haploid).<br /><br />2. Narwhal egg cells contain 22 chromosomes, the cells that make up their tusk contain 44 chromosomes.<br /> - Explanation: Narwhal egg cells are haploid and contain 22 chromosomes. The cells that make up their tusk are diploid and contain twice the number of chromosomes, which is 44.<br /><br />3. A carrot leaf cell has 18 chromosomes, a carrot pollen cell will have 9 chromosomes.<br /> - Explanation: Carrot leaf cells are diploid and contain 18 chromosomes. Carrot pollen cells are haploid and contain half the number of chromosomes, which is 9.<br /><br />4. The egg cells of a lion contain 19 chromosomes, a lion liver cell will have 38 chromosomes.<br /> - Explanation: Lion egg cells are haploid and contain 19 chromosomes. Lion liver cells are diploid and contain twice the number of chromosomes, which is 38.<br /><br />Therefore, the correct matches are:<br />- Baby sharks: 82 chromosomes (diploid) -> 41 chromosomes (haploid)<br />- Narwhal: 22 chromosomes (haploid) -> 44 chromosomes (diploid)<br />- Carrot: 18 chromosomes (diploid) -> 9 chromosomes (haploid)<br />- Lion: 19 chromosomes (haploid) -> 38 chromosomes (diploid)
