23. Germ cells (sperm and egg cells) are haploid, which is to say they possess half of the total number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. Somatic cells in humans have two sets of 23 unique chromosomes for a total of 46 chromosomes.

2N means diploid, so the diploid number of the organism is 8.
Gametes are haploid cells (N), so they will have half the number of chromosomes as the diploid cell. The diploid cell has 8. 8 divided by 2 is 4.

How many chromosomes does a muscle cell have?
A muscle cell has a diploid number of chromosomes, which is 46. The germ cells, such as the sperm and egg, have 23 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes would a tetraploid potato gametic cell contain?
The gamete would contain half the number of chromosomes as the tetraploid parent cell.
How many chromosomes are in a mature sperm cell?
A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes do cells have when they divide?
Twice the number in the cell. So if the cell normally has 46 chromosomes, such as in somatic human cells, the dividing cell would have 92 chromosomes just before division. With germ cells such as sperm and egg this would be half that. Sperm and egg cells in humans would contain 23 chromosomes and 46 just before division.With N representing the number of chromosomes in an organism:Mitosis (somatic cells) 2N -> 4N division -> 2N
If somatic cell has 30 chromosomes how many are in the gametes?
Since gametes are haploids, they would each contain haploid number of chromosomes, 15 chromosomes.
