will assume that you mean human cells. Somatic cells are diploid (2n), containing two sets of chromosomes, one of paternal, one of maternal origin. Gametes, on the other hand, are haploid (n), with a single set of chromosomes, ie. half as many as the somatic cell. Now, the haploid chromosome number (n) is characteristic of the species, and in humans this number happens to be 23. Therefore a human gamete has 23 chromosomes, and a human somatic cell 23 pairs, or 46 chromosomes.

∙ 9y agoThe number of chromosomes in a goat's diploid cell is 60. Its haploid cell contains 30 chromosomes. In chromosomal count, a haploid number is half of the diploid number.

How many chromosomes are in house fly diploid cell?
I think its 24 because the muscle cell of a housefly contains 24 chromosomes and every body cells have an equal number of chromosomes.
How many gamates are possible from a single diploid cell that undergoes meiosis?
23 chromosomes
How many chromosomes does a germ cell contain?
23. Germ cells (sperm and egg cells) are haploid, which is to say they possess half of the total number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. Somatic cells in humans have two sets of 23 unique chromosomes for a total of 46 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes could be found in ootid?
An ootid is a haploid cell, which means that it contains half the number of chromosomes as the original diploid cell. In a human, an ootid would have 23 chromosomes.
An organism has a haploid number of 20. What is the organism's diploid number?
16 (haploid number = n, and diploid number =2n) so if n=8, the diploid number is 2x8 = 16
How many pairs of chromosomes does a diploid have?
A human diploid cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in cats diploid cell?
There are 38 chromosomes in a cat's diploid cell. Diploid cells always have an even number of chromosomes because they exist in pairs.
How many chromosomes do Goat have?
goats have 60 diploid chromesones, which means they have 30 sets.
How many chromosomes are in a human diploid cell?
46
How many chromosomes are in a dogs diploid cell?
The domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris has a diploid number of 78 chromosomes.
If a diploid cell containing 28 chromosomes undergoes meiosis how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?
56 chromosomes
How many chromosomes in a human body diploid cell?
26
How many chromosomes are there in a diploid cell after mitosis?
4
How many chromosomes are in house fly diploid cell?
I think its 24 because the muscle cell of a housefly contains 24 chromosomes and every body cells have an equal number of chromosomes.
If a liver cell in a lizard has 20 chromosomes how many would be in an egg cell?
a liver cell wil be diploid and an egg cell will be haploid (ie half of what a diploid cell has) so there would be 10 chromosomes in the egg cell
How many chromosomes would be present in a zebra gamete after meiosis the zebra has 50 chromosomes in its diploid cells?
A gamete has half the number of chromosomes of the somatic (diploid) cell. Therefore a zebra gamete would have 25 chromosomes if 50 is the diploid number.
How many chromosomes are there in an endosperm cell of a tobacco with a diploid number of 48?
24
