In humans there are 46 chromosomes that are split into 23 pairs in the somatic cells. Somatic cells forms the body of an organism.
23 pairs
A somatic cell is a cell that reproduces by mitosis. Therefore, a somatic cell transfers its information (in the chromosomes) by producing two daughter cells.
Non-somatic cells, such as germ cells (sperm and egg cells), have half the number of chromosomes compared to somatic cells. In humans, somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, while germ cells have 23 chromosomes.
A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.
Gametes are haploid cells, this means that they contain half the amount of chromosomes that a somatic cell contains. A normal somatic cell contains 46 chromosomes, while a haploid cell contains 23.
A human somatic cell typically contains 46 chromosomes.
The number of chromosomes in a mature somatic cell depends on the species, but it is the diploid number (2X). In a human somatic cell, that number is 46.
In a gamete (sex) cell, there are 23 chromosomes. A gamete is a haploid, or n, whereas a somatic (normal) cell is a diploid, or 2n, and has 46 chromosomes.
That depends on the organism you're looking at. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes per normal somatic cell. 46 chromosomes = 22 homolog pairs + 2 sex chromosomes (XX in women or XY in men)
A frog somatic cell typically has a diploid number of chromosomes, which is twice the haploid number. This means it has two sets of chromosomes. On the other hand, a frog egg cell is haploid, meaning it only has one set of chromosomes. In frogs, both the somatic cell (2n) and the egg cell (n) have 26 chromosomes.
If it is a human (somatic/non-sex) cell, it should function as normal because this is the correct number of chromosomes.
5 homologous chromosomes are in a fruit fly somatic cells.
