Sex cells will always contain half of the number of chromosomes needed for a being. So if a fishes sperm cell contains 12 chromosomes and the ovum also contains 12 chromosomes then when fused together they will have 24 chromosomes in total. 
In order for the process of the fish to even be made the sperm and ovum must be fused together. Therefore the number of chromosomes that would be found in the cells forming the gills is 24 chromosomes.

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Transcription and RNA processing (splicing)

Explanation:

Although Howard is almost right, the DNA sequence does not precisely relate to the protein sequence. First of all, the DNA is transcribed to an primary mRNA molecule. Bur before the mRNA is ready to be translated into an amino acid sequence, it must be processed into a mature mRNA.

This includes adding a 3' poly A tail, and a 5' cap, and importantly for this question, splicing.

Splicing is the removal of non protein coding intermediate sequences called introns from the protein coding regions (exons) of a primary mRNA. This means that lots of the DNA sequence is not dictated by the final protein, as many of the intervening sequences have been removed by splicing.
