What is the name of the male gamete of an animal called?
The male gamete is called a sperm cell. A uniflagellar sperm cell that is motile is referred to as a spermatozoon, whereas a non-motile sperm cell is called a spermatium. The female gamete is called an egg cell. They are also known as ova (singlular = ovum).
What happens if a cell goes through non-disjunction?
The failure of chromosomes to separate during mitosis results in one gamete that lacks a chromosome and another with 2 chromosomes. Gametes with improper number of chromosomes are called aneuploid gametes. Aneuploid gametes are the most common cause of spontaneous abortion and handfuls of other congenital disorders that varies depending on donors gamete content.
Having non identical alleles are called?
having non identical alleles r called dne mix ups. i hope this helped u!! good luck!
When two haploids come together do they form a diploid?
Yes. A gamete cell is a sex cell that has one set of chromosomes which equal 23. A gamete cell is a haploid cell. A somatic cell is a non-sex cell that has two sets of chromosomes that equal 46. A somatic cell is a diploid cell. For a haploid cell to become a diploid, two haploid cells must join together, which makes 46 chromosomes (23+23=46)p. This can be done through the reproductive process in humans. To create a baby, the egg from the mother and the sperm from the father join together to make a zygote, fertilized egg (baby), with two sets of chromosomes from both parents.
What effect does non disjunction have on the chromosome number of the gametes?
A gamete can possess n+1 or n-1 chromosomes as a result of nondisjunction.
What type of cell is Meiosis?
That type of division is done by a gamete (sex cell). mitosis is performed in a somatic (non-reproductive) cell.
What is the name of the male gamete of an animal called?
The male gamete is called a sperm cell. A uniflagellar sperm cell that is motile is referred to as a spermatozoon, whereas a non-motile sperm cell is called a spermatium. The female gamete is called an egg cell. They are also known as ova (singlular = ovum).
Gametes that are motile are often called?
A motile gamete is a sperm cell; it is motile because it has a flagellum and it swims around, and it is a gamete because, combined with the non-motile ovum, it can form a zygote and hence a new organism.
What are tetrasomics?
Addition of a pair of chromosomes to a diploid set results in tetrasomic condition. Tetrasomics may be represented as 2N+2. Tetrasomics may arise when two abonormal gametes produced as a result of non-disjuction unite, with each gamete carrying an extra chromosome of the same pair as shown below. AABBCCDD a diploid cell----meiosis and non disjuction AABC Gamete carrying an extra chromosome--- BC Gamete short of one chromosome. Now if this Gamete (AABC) unites with another gamete of the same kind (AABC), we get tetrasomic AAAABBCC.
What are non-mendelian trait?
Non-Mendelian traits are:A trait with no clearly dominant alleleA trait with four allelesA trait controlled by many genes
Explain the difference in the number of chromosomes between a frog somatic cell and a frog egg cell?
A somatic cell is any body cell that is a non-sex cell and an egg cell is the female reproductive cell; the female gamete

How many sets of chromosomes are found in an organism gametes?
In organisms where meiosis occurs to create gametes, sex cells are made to have half as many chromosomes as regular body cells have. For example, a human man's sex cell or gamete would have 23 chromosomes and the non-sex cells in his body (the ones that aren't produced in his testes) would contain 46 chromosomes. This is for the purpose of creating progeny that have an increased variety of genetic information. This is possible because the male gamete combines with the female gamete to create a whole new organism with a new combination of genetic information that has the correct number of chromosomes.
When two haploids come together do they form a diploid?

Why wouldn't a mutation in a non-reproductive cell be passed on to offspring?
If this mutation isn't present with a gamete cell, then it can not be passed onto the offspring. A non-reproductive cell would be cells that are highly organzied such as nerve cells or brain cells.
