What is hexaploid?
If diploid is 2n, 2 sets of chromosome, the hexaploid must be six sets of chromosomes.
In plants and animals an offspring inherits How Many genes?
The number of genes and number of chromosomes inherited depend on the species. The number of chromosomes a species has is known as the chromosome number. For example, (disregarding polyploidy or polysomy) a human baby has 46 chromosomes, but a horse has 64. Chromosomes usually occur as one of a pair in humans, and so they have 23 pairs of chromosomes. However, it is common in plants to have many sets of chromosomes and so they do not occur in pairs, but in triplets, or as sets of 4, 5 or 6 etc. Some species of strawberries have 7 of each chromosome. The number of genes depends on how long the chromosome is, and each chromosome in each different species will have a different number of genes on the chromosome.
What is the term for the two sets of chromatids?
A chromosome pair, as in a pair of Chromosome 15, or a pair of Chromosome 5. Others have said Tetrad - Pls stand-by.
Do diploid cells have 23 chromosomes?
If you're talking about a human cell, then no. Diploid means you have two complete sets of chromosome. For a human, this would be 46. A human cell is haploid when it has only 23 chromosomes - this is the case for the sex cells: sperm and egg each have 23 chromosomes.The issue can be confused if you discuss chromosome pairs...in which case, 23 pairs of chromosomes in a human cell makes it a diploid cell.
Are there two complete sets of chromosomes in a diploid cell?
yes, there is a pair of chromosome in diploid cell.
How many sets of human chromosomes are present in a spermatid?
23 chromosomes are present in spermatids
How many sets of chromosomes does a human cell have?
46 A human fetus starts out as two reproductive cells with 23 chromosomes each, making a fertile 46 chromosome cell that grows into a fetus. So, we are basically just a bunch of developed 46-chromosome-enriched cells.
Somatic cells in a human have a ploidy of what?
Generally, a somatic cell in a human body has 46 chromosomes, which are two complete sets of 23 chromosome pairs. Because they have two sets, these cells have a ploidy level of diploid.
Why is a human cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome a sperm?
Human somatic (body) cells contain two sets of 23 chromosomes. Human gametes (sperm and egg cells) contain one set of 23 chromomes -- 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. Only a sperm cell can carry a y chromosome. A sperm cell can also carry an x chromosome. The ovum can carry only an x chromosome, never a y chromosome. So a cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome must be a sperm cell.
How many sets of chromsomes are in a human?
42

What Has the same number of chromosome sets as a germ cell?
Haploid

What makes up a chromosome?
DNA moleculetwo sets of alleles
When a human egg and sperm fuse how many sets of chromosomes are there?
46
