22 pair of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. A male determines the sex with XY chromosomes and the female only has YY.
23; half of the normal 46 for a cell. This is so when the male and female cells meet, they will form a normal 46-chromosome cell.
Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell, and are said to be haploid. In human sex cells there are 23 chromosomes.
No. Chromosomes are parts of cells, and sex cells are just one of many types of cells.
A chicken typically has 78 chromosomes in its somatic cells and 39 chromosomes in its sex cells (sperm or egg).
80 Chromosomes and 40 sex cells
Humans have 23 chromosomes in their sex cells.
If their are 36 chromosomes, the sex cells would have 18 chromosomes each.
Guinea pigs have 64 chromosomes in body cells and 32 chromosomes in sex cells.
Dogs have 39 pairs of chromosomes in their somatic cells. Sex cells (sperm and eggs) are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells. Therefore, the sex cells of a dog have 39 chromosomes.
Cause body cells have twice the chromosomes a sex cell has Body cells have 46 chromosomes and sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
Body cells typically have a diploid number of chromosomes, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. Sex cells, or gametes, have a haploid number of chromosomes, meaning they have one set of chromosomes. This allows for the correct number of chromosomes to be restored upon fertilization.
