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
Yes.
I don't know man, I'm looking for the same response myself.
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.
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.
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.
There are half as many chromosomes in gametes than in normal body cells.
grasshoppers: 24 chromosomes in body cells, 12 in sex cells
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.
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.

half of the number of chromosomes found in the body cells i studi this for science im very good in this stupid^^
