In the whitefish how many chromosomes are there in a single set?
There are 40 chromosomes in a sperm cell of a white fish because the original number of chromosomes in a body cell is 80. Since the sex cells ( sperm and egg) each must contribute a set of chromosomes to the offspring, the sperm and egg both must have 40 chromosomes so they when the sperm and egg join or combine in a process known as fertilization, the offspring will have 80 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in a cell that was formed from a sperm and egg cell?
Twenty-three chromosomes are in a cell that is formed from a sperm and egg cell.
How many chromosomes does a human sperm or egg cell contain?
The human egg or sperm cell is haploid and contains 23 chromosomes. After fertilization (egg and sperm fusion), the zygote will have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
How many chromosomes should each sperm and egg have?
1/2 the number present in the cells if the parents.
How many chromosomes do humans have in each of their reproductive cells why is it important?
In both an egg cell and a sperm cell, there are 23 chromosomes. The sperm and egg unite (fertilize) to create a zygote (fertilized egg). A zygote has 46 chromosomes. This is important because if a sperm and/or an egg cell have 1 more or 1 less chromosome, a mutation could form in the zygote.
How many chromosomes are found in human egg and sperm cell?
There are 23 chromosomes in each the sperm and the egg. When they fuse, the resulting embryo will have 46 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in each sperm cell?
23. There are 46 chromosomes in a human, half from the egg and half from the sperm.
How many total chromosomes are in each body cell?
all cells of body except egg and sperm have 23 pairs of chromosomes i.e. 46...but egg and sperm have 23 chromosomes
If each human cell consists of 46 chromosomes how many chromosomes are in each egg or sperm cell?
23
How many chromosomes are in a sperm cell and in an egg cell?
Each gamete (or egg/sperm cell) has 23 chromosomes. So both egg & sperm cells have 23 chromosomes, however because gametes undergo meiosis the chromosomes are haploids so they don't look like X's. So they are not actually in pairs, as just eggs & sperm. They pair up once an egg is fertilized.

How many chromosomes do each human egg cell have?
A human egg/sperm cell has 23 chromosomes. When the sperm and egg fuse together,, the zygote (fertilised egg) contains 46 chromosomes. Scientists call this the diploid number, with the sperm/egg having a haploid number of chromosomes. This number varies between species.
Does each egg and sperm cell contain a full set of 46 chromosomes?
No. These cells contain only half the number of chromosomes as the other cells of the body. Each egg and sperm cell contain only 23 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes should each sperm and egg have?
1/2 the number present in the cells if the parents.
