You will write two small functions for the chromosomes of gametes and of a zygote. Then you will use them on four organisms, and check that the number stays the same.
The idea. A gamete carries one chromosome of each pair, half the body-cell number. A zygote gets one gamete from each parent.
Your tasks.
gamete, return the number of chromosomes in a gamete of an organism whose body cell has n.zygote, return the number in a zygote formed from gametes with a and b chromosomes.gametes with the gamete number of every organism in body_cells.constant to True if, for every organism, a zygote from two of its gametes has the body-cell number again.Have you tried it?
Do the tasks in the editor first, and run the checker after each one. Its hints help when a check fails. When you are ready, compare your code with this solution.
