Sperm and eggs each only have half a set of DNA, whereas all other cells contain a full set.
Sex cells differ from body cells in that they do not have a set of homologous chromosomes. Body cells have two copies of each chromosome while sex cells (or gametes) have only one set
Autosomal Chromosome are your body cells(i.e Skin cells) while Sex Chromosomes are your Sperm Cells and Egg Cells or "Gamete(s)"
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 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).
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.
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
Yes, mitosis produces somatic cells for growth and repair of the organism.
I think it's that first of all, sex cells undergo meiosis 1 and 2. None of the others do.
