If gametes were diploid like somatic cells how many chromosomes would the zygote contain?
Dovelove72
If gametes were diploid, that would mean the zygote would get 46 chromosomes (in humans that is) from his father and 46 chromosomes from his mother, that would add up to 92.

What is the difference between a diploid and haploid cell?
Haploid cells are gametes, meaning they are reproductive cells. They have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells. Diploid (somatic) cells are in every part of the body other than the gametes. The have twice the amount of chromosomes as in haploid cells. Haploid cells reproduce using meiosis, while diploid cells use mitosis.a haploid cell has half the amount of chromosomes of a diploid cell. human germ cells are haploids (the egg and sperm) they each contain 23 chromosomes.

What is the total number of chromosome in a human diploid cell?
If the somatic (normal) cell has 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 38. If the gametes (sperm and ovum/egg) have 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 76.
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.
How many chromosomes does a germ cell contain?
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.
Are gemetes diploid or haploid?
Gametes are haploid cells because they only contain half of the chromosomes of a diploid cell. For example, a human somatic (diploid) cell contains 46 chromosomes. Therefore, a haploid cell contains 23 chromosomes.
Do eggs and sperms diploid chromosomes?
Gametes, such as eggs and sperm, are haploid, not diploid. Diploid would be somatic cells, such as skin cells or brain cells.

Is a white blood cell a haploid or a diploid?
Diploid, it is somatic cell therefore will contain 46 chromosomes (23pairs) in humans
Where are the human cells with 46 chromosomes found?
In humans, the diploid number (or 2n) is 46. Somatic cells contain 2n number of chromosomes. Somatic cells are those that make up the body. Every cells that makes up every organ contains 2n number of chromosomes. Gametes (or sex cells) contain haploid (n) number of chromosomes
How do the number of chromosomes compare in gametes and somatic cells?
I will assume that you mean human cells. Somatic cells are diploid (2n), containing two sets of chromosomes, one of paternal, one of maternal origin. Gametes, on the other hand, are haploid (n), with a single set of chromosomes, ie. half as many as the somatic cell. Now, the haploid chromosome number (n) is characteristic of the species, and in humans this number happens to be 23. Therefore a human gamete has 23 chromosomes, and a human somatic cell 23 pairs, or 46 chromosomes.
What is the number of chromosomes in a somatic cell?
Somatic cells (of the body) are diploid (having 46 chromosomes). Only gametes (eggs and sperm) are haploid (having 23 chromosomes). So that during fertilization the egg and sperm combine their chromosomes resulting in a new life with 46 unique chromosomes (in humans, of course. Others species has differing numbers of chromosomes). The haploid combination ensures genetic diversity.
What is the difference between chromosomes and gametes?
The chromosomes in a gamete at the end of meiosis are haploid in number, 23 chromosomes in humans, 22 somatic chromosomes and 1 sex chromosome, either X or Y. Body cells have a diploid number of chromosomes, 46 chromosomes, 23 pair and 2 sex chromosomes included in that number.
