coiled strands of genetic material
This cell is called a diploid cell.
Diploid cells .
almost all salamanders have 24 chromosomes. I don't believe it is any different for the "spotted"- most likely wild type- creature you have described.
Gametes are described as haploid because they contain only one set of chromosomes, which is half the number found in somatic (body) cells. In humans, for example, somatic cells have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), while gametes—sperm and eggs—each have 23 chromosomes. This haploid condition is crucial for sexual reproduction, ensuring that when two gametes fuse during fertilization, the resulting zygote has the correct diploid number of chromosomes.
In an ovum, the number of chromosomes is haploid, meaning it contains half the number of chromosomes found in other cells of the body. This is because during the process of meiosis, the ovum undergoes division to reduce the number of chromosomes by half in preparation for fertilization.
Telophase is often described as reverse prophase because it involves the re-establishment of the nuclear envelope and the de-condensation of chromosomes, which are processes that occur during prophase. In prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope breaks down, while in telophase, the chromosomes begin to uncoil back into chromatin and the nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes. This reversal of events highlights the cyclical nature of the cell cycle, particularly during mitosis.
Because the chromosomes are reduced from 2n to n. From diploid( sister chromatids ) to haploid ( one chromosome ).
chromosomes, are you doing the function of the organelles worksheet? ha ha I'm doing the function of the organelles worksheet and my stupid teacher didn't teach us what the hairlike structures with the capacity for movement is and i'm not talking about the cilia. the flagella is the hairlike structure with the capacity for movements.
Human body cells that are 2n are called "diploid"
A normal female karyotype would be described as 46 XX. A karotype shows the pairs of metaphase chromosomes of an individual cell and sorted according to size.
Chromosomes
Chromosomes were first discovered by the scientist Walter Flemming in the late 19th century. Flemming observed and described the thread-like structures in the nucleus of cells, which we now know to be chromosomes.
