How many pair of chromosomes do normal human cells contain?

Gametic [haploid] Cells are chromosome number n - which involves 23 individual chromosomes. Somatic [or diploid] Cells are chromosome number 2n - which involves 23 pairs of chromosomes. Mitotic Cells are 4n.


How many chromosomes would a tetraploid potato gametic cell contain?

The gamete would contain half the number of chromosomes as the tetraploid parent cell.


Compare and constrast autosomes and sex chromosome?

Autosomes are the somatic chromosomes which control the body characters or somatic characters and sex chromosomes help in the determination of sex at the time of gametic union to form the zygote.


How many chromosomes are in a sperm Cell?

32


How many chromosomes does a somatic -diploid- corn Cell have?

Short Answer is: twice the number of Chromosomes as found in the gametic [Haploid] Cells.


What does gametic meiosis produce?

Meiosis produces gametes which have only one set of chromosomes for that species.


If an organism had 4 pairs of chromosomes how many different gametes can it produce?

For a species with three pair of chromosomes how many gametic combinations are possible?


Why do reproductive cells only contain half of the DNA an organism needs?

they don't contain half, they contain the full amount of chromosomesEdited answer:Because reproductive cells (male & female gametes) are formed after undergoing meiosis to have only single set of chromosomes (haploid). After gametic union both parent contribute one set and hence double set of chromosomes with double amount of DNA is restores in the offspring.


What are 3 differences between somatic cells and gametes?

Somatic cells or body cells have a dipliod or full set of chromosomes. Gametes or sex cells, also called germ cells, have a hapliod number of chromosomes or half the number. Sperm and eggs are the gametes of humans, and you misspelled cell.......... artard


How do gametes differ from their parent cell?

Gametes are sex cells - sperm and egg. Other cells are somatic cells - regular body and organ cells. Also, gametes have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells do. This is because, when the zygote is formed (sperm and egg form together) they take their chromosomes together to make the number of chromosomes a somatic cell has.


How does mitosis conserve chromosome number while meiosis reduces the number from diploid to haploid?

Short Answer: the [it appears] one, extra, cellular process that only Meiotic Cells possess is termed "Chromosome Reduction"; we have seen (elsewhere) that this process results in the reduction of Chromosome Number from the mitotic {somatic} 2N to the Meiotic {gametic} 1N.


Which type of cell is produced as the result of meiosis?

Cells produced by meiosis are called daughter cells which contain one haploid of chromosomes. So, these cells are called haploid daughter cells.
