All types of somatic cells in the body have the same number of chromosomes (2n). Only germ cells have a haploid set of chromosomes (1n) that is two times less than in somatic cells. The leukocytes and cells of the turtle's eye are the somatic cells of the body, therefore the number of chromosomes in them is the same and equal to 18.
