There are no homologous chromosomes in a haploid cell, as a haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes. One member of each pair of homologous chromosomes comes from one set, and the other member comes from the second set, so homologous chromosomes only exist in diploid cells.

If there are 13 pairs of homologous chromosomes in a primary spermatocyte how many chromosomes are there in a sperm?
The haploid number is 13 and the diploid number is 26
If an organism has 16 chromosomes in each of its egg cells the organisms diploid number is 32?
The gamete or haploid cell of an organism contains half as many chromosomes as a diploid body cell. An organism that has 32 chromosomes would produce a gamete with 16 chromosomes.
How does the number of chromosomes in a diploid compare to the number of chromosomes in a haploid?
The diploid number is "2n" and the haploid number is "n". Humans have 46 chromosomes, which are equal to the diploid number. half of these chromosomes are the haploid number, which is = 23.
How many pairs of chromosomes does a human body haploid sex cell have?
They do not have pairs since they are haploid. They have 23 single chromosomes.
How many pairs of homologous chromosomes would be in an offspring?
Since a somatic cell (body cell) has 2n sets of chromosomes, and a gamete has n sets of chromosomes, then in this case: 18 = n, so 2n = 36. This organism has 36 chromosomes in its somatic cells.
How many chromosomes will a gamete of this organism have?
It varies from organism to organism. Humans have 23 chromosomes in a haploid (gamate) cell.
When a cell contains only one chromosome of each homologous pair the cell is?
ploidy is the classification based on the number of homologous chromosomes present. if there is only one pair of homologous chromosomes then the nucleus is said to be haploid if there are two pairs then it is known as diploid if three it is triploid if many it is noted as polyploidy --------------------------- an oocyte or a spermatocyte are haploid cells in a species that normally have diploid cells.
How many chromosomes are in the body cells of an organism that has a haploid?
50 million
What species other than humans have a haploid number of 23 chromosomes?
Ploidy is another species that has 23 chromosomes. Many organisms have more than two sets of homologous chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in the body cells of an organism that has a haploid number of 32?
9 or 6 I forget
An organism that reproduces sexually has a diploid number of 40 How many chromosomes will a gamete of this organism have?
20
How many homologous chromosomes do you have in your gametes?
Number of Homologous Chromosomes in GametesGametes contain 23 paired chromosomes. Gametes are haploid because they are sex cells to be combined with other haploid sex cells of the opposite gender to form the required 46 chromosomes that form a zygote (a future child), which is diploid.
How many homologous pairs of chromosomes does a diploid human cell have?
A human gamete does not have any pairs of homologous chromosomes. A single human gamete contains 23 chromosomes, or a half set. None of these chromosomes are homologous with each other.
If there are 13 pairs of homologous chromosomes in a primary spermatocyte how many chromosomes are there in a sperm?
The haploid number is 13 and the diploid number is 26
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 are found in a Split Pea cell?
Normal egg cells are haploid and a haploid cell can`t have pair of chromosomes.Pair of chromosomes actually means homologous pairs of chromosomes which are not present in eggs. Human egg contains 23 unpaired chromosomes and Drosophila egg contain 4 unpaired chromosomes which can`t be called 2 pairs as they are not homologous. Some abnormal eggs eg of parthenogenetic animals may possess paired chromosomes.
Why is the haploid condition desirable in gametes?
The haploid condition is desirable in gametes because two haploid cells come together to make one full cell. If the gametes were not haploid then the organism would have too many chromosomes.
