Is a sex cell a diploid cell?

No, sex cells contain half the number of chromosomes that somatic (non-sex) cells contain. They are therefore haploidcells.


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 many chromosomes are there in each somatic cell?

That depends on the organism you're looking at. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes per normal somatic cell. 46 chromosomes = 22 homolog pairs + 2 sex chromosomes (XX in women or XY in men)


How many chromosome will there in the sex cells of an organism if each somatic cell contain 20 chromosomes?

10


Do body cells have less chromosomes than sex cells?

No, somatic (non-sex) cells have twice the number of chromosomes that sex cells have.


Which type of cell division only occurs in organisms whose cells contain chromosomes?

If they are somatic (body cells) then mitosis. If they are germ (sex) cells it is meiosis.


How many chromosomes in bone marrow?

Every cell has the same number of chromosomes (except for sex cells), based on the specific organism's species. Humans have 46 chromosomes in each nucleus, and their sex cells have 23.


The only haploid cells found in humans are?

Reproductive cells or sex cells of an organism contain haploid number of chromosomes. All other body cells (or somatic cells) contain diploid number of chromosomes


All cells in the human body start with how many chromosomes?

In terms of chromosomal number, there are two types of cells in the human body.Autosomes, or body cells, have 46 chromosomes (the diploid number)Allosomes, or sex chromosomes, have 23 chromosomes (the haploid number)


How does soma relate to the meanings of autosome and somatic cells?

The soma, from the Greek word meaning body, is the entire body - except the germ (sex) cells. This is related to the meanings of autosome and somatic because: Autosome refers to chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes. Somatic cells are all cells that are not sex cells (gametes/germ cells).


How are sex cells and somatic cells different?

Somatic cells undergo mitosis and the resulting cells have the same number of chromosomes as the original. Sex cells undergo meiosis and the resulting cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


What type of cells are sex cells?

They are haploid cells. They have one half the number of chromosomes that somatic cells have.
