sex cells(gametes) are haploid in nature as compared to body cells(somatic cells) thus the number of chromosomes in a sex cell of a grasshopper is half the number of chromosomes in a body cell

Walter Sutton discovered that sex cells of grasshoppers have?

Walter Sutton discovered that sex cells of grasshoppers have a consistent number of chromosomes, and that these chromosomes form pairs during cell division. This finding led to the understanding that chromosomes are responsible for passing on hereditary information.


What did Sutton observe about the relative numbers of chromosomes in the body cells and sex cells of grasshoppers?

Sutton observed that while body cells in grasshoppers had a diploid number of chromosomes, sex cells (sperm and eggs) had a haploid number of chromosomes. This observation led to the hypothesis that chromosomes are responsible for passing on hereditary information from one generation to the next.


How do the number of chromosomes in a female scorpion's egg cells compare with the number in her body (somatic) cells?

There are 46 chromosomes in your body cells. The egg cells have half the amount of chromosomes as the body cells, so there are 23 chromosomes in the egg cells.

How does the number of chromosomes in a zygote compare with the number of chromosomes in a body cell?

A zygote typically has a full set of chromosomes, with one set from each parent, so it has a diploid number of chromosomes. In contrast, body cells are also diploid, containing the same number of chromosomes as the zygote.


How does a number of chromosomes in a person's sex cells compare with the number of chromosomes in the body cells?

In the sex cells you only have half of the number of chromosomes- 23 instead of 46 which is what you have in your other body cells This is because when the sperm fertilizes the egg, the two nuclei fuse together and the chromosomes combine so you then have the right number for normal body cells to develop in the baby.
