Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes that almost all other cells in the body have. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes in body cells, but only 23 in egg cells and sperm cells.
This is because, in sexual reproduction, you get half your genes from your mother and half from your father and 23+23=46 total chromosomes.

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 stem cells differentiate from other cells?
Stem cells are different from other cells in the body in several notable ways. They can divide and renew themselves many times, whereas other cells are more limited in their divisions. And when those stem cells divide, the new cells can become specialized if necessary. Stem cells have no assigned function in the body, but through the process of specialization, they can take on roles in any of the body's tissues. These type of cells can be derived from human embryos or from certain spots in the adult human body.
What does all different cell do?
There are too many different kinds of cells in the human body, or the body of any other large animal, to describe what each does in a small place like this. People study for years to learn that.
Are adult cells and somatic cells the same?
Adult cells could refer to any cell in the adult body. Somatic cells however, are body cells (cells that have diploid number of chromosomes), different from germ cells (containing haploid number of chromosomes)
How many cells are in your thumb?
The number of cells in a thumb can vary, but it is estimated that there are billions of cells in a single thumb. The thumb, like any other body part, is composed of a complex arrangement of different types of cells that work together to maintain its structure and function.
What are body cells called?
there are many different cells in the human body, but they are all eukaryotic cells (which is one of the two types of cells)
What is differentiated and undifferentiated?
In a biological context, differentiated cells have specific functions and structures that are suited for their role in the body, such as muscle cells or nerve cells. Undifferentiated cells, on the other hand, are primitive cells that have the potential to develop into various cell types, like stem cells.
How many chromosomes are in a cell in the arm of the body?
it has the same amount as any other cells in your body (with the exception of sex cells which have 23.) a cell in the arm of the body will have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs)
What types of cells go through mitosis?
Mitosis is a process that occurs in somatic cells, which are any cells in the body other than reproductive cells. This includes cells in tissues like skin, muscle, and organs. Mitosis is important for growth, repair, and maintenance of the body's cells.
How are adult body cells different from embryonic stem cells?
adult body cells have a function where as embryonic stem cells have no set function as of that stage. now there are some adult stem cells and those have little to no difference than embryonic stem cells
Can a muscle cell split into two nerve cells?
Stem cells (that may differentiate into any cell) turn into nerve and muscle cells. Once they differentiate to the different type of it cannot switch from one type of cell to another. So, in short, the answer is "no."
Which types of cells go through mitosis?
Mitosis is a process that occurs in somatic cells, which are any cells in the body other than reproductive cells. This includes cells in tissues like skin, muscle, and organs. Mitosis is responsible for cell growth, repair, and maintenance in the body.
