How are sex cells different from others human cells?

Sex cells, called gametes, are different to other cells in that they contain half the number of chromosomes. So in a human sex cell, there are 23 chromosomes, whereas a normal human cell has 46 chromosomes.


How is the chromosome of a male different from a female?

Chromosomes are the same no matter what gender you are, or what species, all cells have them. It is the information contained within those chromosomes that is different between cells.


What are diploid cells?

Diploid cells are cells which contain 2 sets of chromosomes, which will later be divided into two sets of 23 chromosomes for each daughter cell. The total will come up to be 46 chromosomes. The other type of cell is a haploid. A haploid is a sex cell which contains 23 chromosomes. Later when the sperm enters the egg, or the egg meets the sperm the two sets of DNA (One from the sperm, and the other from the egg) will pair up to make another cell with 46 chromosomes. Different animals have different amounts of chromosomes. I have bases this answer on human cells.

How do the numbers of chromosomes in cells compare with the number of chromosomes in sex cells?

Cells typically have two sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent, while sex cells (sperm and egg cells) only have one set of chromosomes. This means that cells have a diploid number of chromosomes, while sex cells have a haploid number of chromosomes.

The sex cells have half the chromosomes that were in the parent cell.


If a animal has 40 chromosomes in its skin cells how may will never in its kidney?

If an animal has 40 chromosomes in its skin cells, it will also have 40 chromosomes in its kidney cells. This is because all somatic cells in an organism typically have the same number of chromosomes, which is characteristic of that species. The number remains consistent across different types of cells, including skin and kidney cells.
