What is the term for having two chromosomes of each pair- Normal body cells?
Diploid is the term for cells that contain two chromosomes of each pair. Euploid is a term meaning normal body cells.
Having two chromosomes of each pair-normal body cells?
Normal body cells, also called diploid cells, contain 46 chromosomes. These are matched up in 23 pairs, one pair being the gender chromosomes.
How many pairs of chromosomes do each human skin cell have?
Each human cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 chromosomes.
Where are your chromosomes?
Chromosomes are located in the nuclei (singlular form: nucleus) of each cell in your body.
How do the number of chromosomes in a female scorpion's egg cells compare with the number in her body (somatic) cells?
There are 46 chromosomes in your body cells. The egg cells have half the amount of chromosomes as the body cells, so there are 23 chromosomes in the egg cells.
How does a number of chromosomes in a person's sex cells compare with the number of chromosomes in the body cells?
In the sex cells you only have half of the number of chromosomes- 23 instead of 46 which is what you have in your other body cells This is because when the sperm fertilizes the egg, the two nuclei fuse together and the chromosomes combine so you then have the right number for normal body cells to develop in the baby.

Human body cells contain nuclei?
46 chromosomes
Do the nuclei of the skin cells have genes for eye color?
Yes, each cell in our body has a nuclei, and in each nuclei there are all the bodies chromosomes including eye color.
How many chromosomes in normal human eggs and sperm is the same as in the body cells?
There are 23 chromosomes in human egg/sperm. In other human body cells there are 46 chromosomes.
How does the number of chromosome in a persons gametes compare with the numbers of chromosomes in the body cells?
There are half as many chromosomes in gametes than in normal body cells.
How do the chromosomes of a sperm cell differ from chromosomes in other cells of the body?
They have less chromosomes than a normal cell.
Why is it important to have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells?
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.
How many chomosomes in your body?
In a normal Human body cell (not a gamete) there are 46 chromosomes. This is not the same number of chromosomes in our bodies, only in one cell, and there are trillions of cells in the human body. In a gamete (a sperm cell or egg cell) there are 23 chromosomes. When the sperm and egg cell nuclei fuse in fertilisation, a diploid cell of 46 chromosomes is produced.
What is the term for having two chromosomes of each pair- Normal body cells?
Diploid is the term for cells that contain two chromosomes of each pair. Euploid is a term meaning normal body cells.
