4.The red fox has 17 pairs of large, long chromosomes. The arctic fox has 26 pairs of shorter, smaller chromosomes.
a)What do you expect to be the chromosome number in somatic cells of a hybrid between these two foxes?
 
17+26 = 43

because the red fox hax 17 PAIRS when it undergoes meiosis the gametes will have 17 chromosomes, the artics's gametes will have 26 chromosomes and will fuse together to form a hybrid with both completements and 43 chromosomes IF it fuses and actually survives.
