What cells are in animal cells?
Animal cells are called eukaryotes.
The Number of chromosome in Gorilla is?
Gorilla as well as Chimpanzee posses total 48 chromosomes in each cell
How are characteristics passed?
characteristics are like traits. traits are within the gene in a cell. And a gene is among the DNA strands in a chromosome. And a chromosome is in the nucleus. and the nucleus is in the cell. And cells are in organisms.
Are all calico guinea pigs female?
The majority of calico guinea pigs are female, any male guinea pig who is calico is a mutation. I'm not sure how well I can explain this, but basically there are color alleles (not sure if I spelled that right) on the X chromosome, so its a sex-linked trait. Because females have an extra X chromosome, One X chromosome needs to be shut down in every cell. If its not, it can cause serious problems, so the female body has safety mechanisms in place to assure its shut down and converted into a Bar-Body. Males only have one X and one Y chromosome, so they have the correct chromosome # and nothing needs to be shut down. So, back to the color allele on the X chromosome, Males receive 1 of those and Females receive 2. Now, If an organism, such as a human has the wrong chromosome # It can cause killer things like Cri du chats, or something less harmful like down syndrome. Its not as serious with the sex chromosomes (ahh! Sorry about all of this back round info, its kinda hard to understand without knowing other stuff first) So, Lets say that one X chromosome contains the orange coat allele, and the other contains the black coat allele. There is a different allele on a different chromosome that provides base coat, lets say the phenotype is white. As the embryo is developing at random points the X chromosome is shut off. The X cells are shut off randomly, but in patches depending how far along development is. The sooner the X chromosome is shut off, the larger the patch will be. So if x chromosomes are shut off earlier, the guinea pig has smaller patches because the already shutoff cell don't replicate as much. The exact same things occurs in females of all species. Hopefully that's clear enough! Males shouldn't be calico because they only have one X chromosome, and the Y chromosome mostly contains stuff like "how to be male" Sorry that this is so long! I hope its clear enough for you!
What two structures of a frog would most likely have the same chromosome number?
the answer to this question is skin cell and fertilized egg cell because these two have 46 chromosomes. the answer to this question is skin cell and fertilized egg cell because these two have 46 chromosomes.
What is the diploid chromosome number for a body cell from a human?
23
How does the chromosome number in a diploid cell differ from the chromosome number in a haploid cell?
The chromosome number in hapliod cell is 1 while the dipliod chromosome has 2
How many chromosomes are there in body cell of spinach?
Spinach has a diploid chromosome number of 12, meaning that there are 12 chromosomes in each body cell.
How does the number of chromosomes in a zygote compare with the number of chromosomes in a body cell?
Double.Each gamete (sex cell) has one copy of each chromosome. Somatic (body) cells have 2 copies.
The number of chromosomes in a sex cell of an organism is what kind of chromosome?
A sex cell is haploid, having one set of chromosomes, which is half of the number of chromosomes as in a body cell.
What is the chromosome number in the daughter cell?
The chromosome number for daughter cells resulting from mitosis is the same as the parent cell.
What does a Barr body in a mammalian female cell represents?
x chromosome... since female body has single type of chromosome, X chromosome
What chromosome are found in body cell but not sex cell?
Homologous Chromosomes
Where a chromosome is found?
In the nucleus of each cell in the body.
How many genes do cells obtain?
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.
Is chromosome 19 autosomal or sex chromosome?
Chromosome#19 is autosomal cell when refering to the human system. The #23 chromsomes is the sex cell in the human body system.
How is the chromosome number affected by cell division?
In Mitosis, the chromosome number remains the same. In meiosis, the number of chromosomes is halved.
