An interesting group of ants consists of several virtually identical, closely related species, with females having chromosome numbers of 18, 20, 32, 48, 60, 62, and 64. If one crossed a female of species (A) with 32 chromosomes and a male species (B) with 9 chromosomes (males are haploid, and each gamete contains the n complement), how many chromosomes would one expect in the body (somatic) cells of the female offspring? 
A) 4.5
B) 9
C) 25
D) 32
E) 41
