Depends on the cell. 46 is probably the number you're looking for. 23 pairs. Mature red blood cells have none. Gametes, eggs and sperm have 23, not 23 pairs.
A normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. If you had an average of 40 trillion cells in your body that had 412 chromosomes you would have 4456 trillion chromosomes in your body. Note that some mature cells in your body do not have any chromosomes, some have 26 chromosomes and some cells have 99 chromosomes.
There are 46 chromosomes per cell, with 22 pairs and an XX pair for females or an XY pair for males.
The number of genes varies from chromosome to chromosome and the number of chromosomes varies from species to species (from as few as 1 single chromosome per cell to as many 30,000 chromosome pairs per cell). Human cells have 23 chromosome pairs per cell.
Haploid cells are also known as reproductive cells. These cells only contain one-half of the required chromosomes for a new baby to be created (the other set of chromosomes are in diploid cells). Haploid can be found in testicles and ovaries in humans, but are also found in algae's and bacteria's.
Eggs and sperms are gametes. They are haploid. Haploid means that they have half the regular number of chromosomes. This works really well because an egg and a sperm join together to begin a new organism which will then have the entire diploid number of chromosomes. A human body cell would have 46 chromosomes. Since a human egg cell is a reproductive cell (sex cell), it would contain only half the number of chromosomes as a body cell. Thus, a human egg cell would have 23 chromosomes. A sex cell has half the number of chromosomes for a good reason. When two sex cells reproduce, they combine to form double the number of chromosomes. So when two cells with 23 chromosomes each reproduce, the offspring would have 46 chromosomes. To keep humans at 46 chromosomes per cell, sex cells are produced through meiosis, which is a process that creates cells with half the number of 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)
Each organism has a distinct number of chromosomes, in humans, every cell contains 46 chromosomes. Other organisms have different numbers, for instance, a dog has 78 chromosomes per cell. Somatic Cells - body cells, such as muscle, skin, blood ...etc. These cells contain a complete set of chromosomes (46 in humans) and are called DIPLOID. Sex Cells - also known as gametes. These cells contain half the number of chromosomes as body cells and are called HAPLOID Chromosomes come in pairs, called Homologous Pairs (or homologs). Imagine homologs as a matching set, but they are not exacly alike, like a pair of shoes. Diploid cells have 23 homologous pairs = total of 46 Haploid cells have 23 chromosomes (that are not paired) = total of 23
After meiosis, each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. For example, in humans the parent cell would have 46 chromosomes, but after meiotic cell division, the daughter cells will each have 23 chromosomes.
Its the other way around. We have 46 chromosomes in each of our cells. The number of genes per chromosome varies between 500 and 4,000, with a total of about 32,000 genes in the 46 chromosomes.
This depends both on the cell undergoing mitosis and the stage in mitosis which is currently underway. Humans have 46 chromosomes per cell, but in some stages of mitosis have 92. Dogs have 78 chromosomes, but at some stages of mitosis have 156.
it is sperm. NEW ANSWER Ploidy refers to how many complete sets of chromosomes a cell has. A diploid cell will have two sets of chromosomes, one set from each parent. A haploid cell is a cell with only one set of chromosomes. For example, humans are diploid organisms - our cells each have two copies of 23 different chromosomes for a total of 46. Humans do produce haploid sperm and egg cells (with only one set of chromosomes for a total of 23 chromosomes per cell) during meiosis for reproduction as these two haploid cells can then fuse to produce a diploid fertilized embryo. However, not all haploid cells are sex cells for multicellular organisms. All prokaryotes (i.e. bacteria) are considered haploid because they have a single circular chromosome. Many organisms - plants, funghi, yeast - go through haploid and diploid stages of their life cycles. Some insects are haploid.
23 per cell except for gametes who have only have only have one of every chromosome. There are between 50 and 75 trillion cells in a human body. How many of them are gametes is something I wouldn't know.
as in gametes? per human there is around 24
During Meiosis, the process at which reproductive cells divide, the new daughter cells will have half the chromosomes as the parent cells. On the other hand, during mitosis, the division of body cells, after the process is over, the daughter cells will have the same amount of chromosomes as the parents.
Human cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes, giving a total of 46 per cell.
