The diploid number of chromosomes in the domestic horse (Equus caballus) is 64. Sex in horses is determined in the same way as in humans.
Which of the following represents a possible chromosome constitution of a functional sperm cell from a male horse?
31 autosomes+X31\text{ autosomes} + \text{X}31 autosomes+X
32 autosomes+Y32\text{ autosomes} + \text{Y}32 autosomes+Y
62 autosomes+XY62\text{ autosomes} + \text{XY}62 autosomes+XY
64 autosomes+X64\text{ autosomes} + \text{X}64 autosomes+X
