23
There are half as many chromosomes in gametes than in normal body cells.
The answer is 40
The answer is 40
23 pairs and 46 chromosomes.
Gametes carry half the number of normal chromosomes as a body cell. Since there are normally 46, this means there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete.
Yes, there are half as many genes in gametes (sperm and egg cells) as there are in normal body cells. This is because gametes are produced through the process of meiosis, which results in the number of chromosomes being halved to ensure that when the egg and sperm combine during fertilization, the resulting zygote has the correct number of chromosomes.
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in all about 100 trillion body cells minus 25 trillion red blood cells and gametes. Red blood cells have no nucleus and so no chromosomes and gametes have half of them.
Normal human gametes carry 23 chromosomes, which is half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic cell. During fertilization, a sperm cell with 23 chromosomes fuses with an egg cell, also with 23 chromosomes, to form a zygote with a total of 46 chromosomes.
Haploid gametes have half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell, so in humans, there are 23 chromosomes in a haploid gamete.
Gametes carry half the number of normal chromosomes as a body cell. Since there are normally 46, this means there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete.
The gametes must have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells because they unite to form a zygote, which is the first body cell of the new organism. For example, human body cells have 46 chromosomes and human gametes (sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the zygote will have 46 chromosomes, and is the first body cell of the new human.
The llama has 74 chromosomes.
