Do heart cells have a complete set of chromosomes and DNA?
The only cells that doesn't have a complete set of chromosomes are germ cells (also called sex cells, or gametes).
How does sex cells differ from ordinary cells?
Sex cells, called gametes, are different to other cells in that they contain half the number of chromosomes. So in a human sex cell, there are 23 chromosomes, whereas a normal human cell has 46 chromosomes.
Do chromosomes only occur in egg and sperm cells?
No, sex cells just have 1/2 the chromosomes of the rest of cells.
What are the sex chromosomes called that do not carry traits?
you mean stem cells? those aren't chromosomes, but they are blank cells.
