If a diploid organism has 11 chromosomes how many pairs of sister chromatids does each cell possess?
Tommykravis
Assuming it is not in the anaphase stage then the chromosomes had 22 sister chromatids. 1 chromosome has 2 sister chromatids.

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.
What is diploidy?
Diploid state of organisms is originated during process of fertilization of sexual reproduction. During fertilization, two haploid cells or gametes of different types are fused together to produce a diploid egg (zygote).
How many chromosomes are in the human liver cell?
Any somatic cells in a diploid eukaryotic organism will have the diploid number (2n) of chromosomes. For humans that number is 46. To unpack that: humans are diploid organisms. That is, our cells contain two copies of every chromosome we have. One copy is inherited from our mothers, the other from our fathers. Because we have 23 pairs of chromosomes (n=23), the total number of chromosomes in a human cell is 46 (2n=46). For the most part it doesn't matter what kind of cell you're talking about in a human body - brain cell, fat cell, liver cell (more technically called hepatocytes) - they will all have the same 46 chromosomes in them. All cells in your body are genetically identical - they differ in which genes are turned on, not by which genes they possess. (N.B.: There are a few exceptions to this, notably red blood cells and germ line cells. Mature red blood cells have no nuclei and no chromosomes at all! And germ line cells - that is sperm, eggs, and their precursors - will have only 23 chromosomes. This permits a sperm cell with 23 chromsomes and an egg cell with 23 chromosomes to fuse to produce a proper human zygote with 46 chromosomes.)
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.
What is eukaryotes?
Eukaryotic cell is a multicellular, or a single-celled organism, that has a distinct membrane-bound nucleus.

How many chromosomes does each cell have in inter phase?
Thre are 46 chromosomes in any common human cell during interphase. 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sexual chromosomes.
What is the difference between a homozygous and a heterozygous organism?
homozygous organism is one which possess same genes on their chromosome pair for instance C which represent colour blindness it will be present on both the x chromosomes of a female.

What are holocentric chromosomes?
they possess centromeres through out the chromosome body
What are the paired chromosomes in eukaryotes?
in eukaryotes, there is usually a double set of genome (whole genetic information needed to build the organism). The genome is represented by chromosomes. For example, human cells possess 23 chromosomes. But, there are another 23 chromosomes in the cells, called homologous chromosomes. Their genetic information is very similar, nearly the same. The reason why the information is not 100% the same, is that one set of the 23 chromosomes comes from mother's egg and the second set comes from father's spermatozoon.
How many chromosomes dose a human nerve cell have?
The same number as any other cell in a cat except its germ cells (also called sex cells). Remember, all somatic (aka body) cells in an animal possess the exact same chromosome complement which is two copies of each chromosome.
Do lobsters have chromosomes?
A Lobster's body cells do have a nucleus and organelles, hence they are classified as Eukaryotes. Lobsters themselves are properly described on the macroscopic not microscopic scale, and as such the Lobster organism itself doesn't possess a single nucleus; again, the term organelles refers to structures with a cell. On a macroscopic scale the lobster is said to possess organs.
How many chromosomes human zygote possess?
46 23 from each parent...unless there is a mutation. Hi sorry to but in, but i was just wondering. If a human zygote contains 46 chromosomes and then total chromosomes they have is 46. Then if a mouse has 40 chromosomes would it's zygote be 40 as well? I have Biology homework and i was just wondering. Thanks!

How many chromosomes are in body cells?
That depends completely upon the Species of the Body. The human body's Cells possess 46 individual chromosomes except that they are not actually individual because they actually exist in a paired configuration that yeilds 23 Chromosome Pairs.
