Sex cells differ from body cells in that they do not have?

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.


How sex cells different from any other cell in your body?

Sex cells have 1/2 the number of chromosomes than body cells. In humans that is 23.


How do haploid cells differ from diploid cells?

Haploid cells only have half the necessary amount of DNA (sex cells). Diploid cells have a full set of DNA (body cells).


What is mian difference between sex cell and other 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.

How do autosomes differ from sex cells?

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 vs other human cell?

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.
