23 pairs


How do chromosomes transmit from cell to cell in the somatic cell?

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.


How many chromosomes have non somatic cell?

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.


How many chromosomes are in a mature sex cell?

A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.


How many choromosomes are in a human gamete?

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.


How many chromosomes are in a human somatic cell?

A human somatic cell typically contains 46 chromosomes.


How many chromosomes are in a mature somatic cell?

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.


How many chromosomes are contained in a human male gamete cell?

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.


How many chromosomes are there in each somatic cell?

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)


Explain the difference in the number of chromosomes between a frog somatic cell and a frog egg cell?

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.


What would happen if a new formed cell had 46 chromosomes?

If it is a human (somatic/non-sex) cell, it should function as normal because this is the correct number of chromosomes.
