Sperm and eggs each only have half a set of DNA, whereas all other cells contain a full set.
Sex cells (sperm and egg) differ from body cells in that they do not have a full set of chromosomes. Sex cells are haploid, meaning they only have one set of chromosomes, while body cells are diploid, with two sets of chromosomes. This difference allows sex cells to combine during fertilization to create a genetically diverse offspring.
Sex cells have 1/2 the number of chromosomes than body cells. In humans that is 23.
Haploid cells only have half the necessary amount of DNA (sex cells). Diploid cells have a full set of DNA (body cells).
Sex cells are haploid cells that carry half the number of chromosomes, while other body cells are diploid and contain a complete set of chromosomes. Sex cells are involved in sexual reproduction, contributing genetic information from both parents, while body cells are involved in growth, maintenance, and functioning of the body.
Body cells. Meiosis deals with sex cells
Cause body cells have twice the chromosomes a sex cell has Body cells have 46 chromosomes and sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
They are haploid or have half the number of chromosomes.
Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes found in the nucleus of a cell, while sex cells (sperm and egg cells) are specialized cells involved in sexual reproduction that carry half the number of chromosomes as normal cells. Autosomes are responsible for determining an individual's traits and characteristics, whereas sex cells determine the genetic sex of an individual.
Sex cells, also referred to as zygotes are made in the reproductive organs of the respected genders. Men in the Testes, women in the ovaries. These differ from somatic cells (body) because these have one function which is to reproduce or procreate. Somatic cells line all other parts of body for all other functions.
Sex cells only include the gametes i.e. sperms and ovum's. All the other cells present in our body are cells for protection such as WBC's etc!!! other cells include RBC's , epithelial cells..cells present in d cheek..etc
I think it's that first of all, sex cells undergo meiosis 1 and 2. None of the others do.
