An organisms gametes have double the number of chromosomes found in the organisms body cells.?
No, a gamete has half the number of chromosomes as compared to the organisms body cells.
Are most of the cells in the human body called haploid or diploid?
All cells in the human body that are not gametes (sperm or egg cells) are diploid. Gametes are haploid.
How many chromosomes in human gametes?
23, there are 23 chromosomes in human gametes
The parent cells different from ordinary body cells are called?
Gametes
How many chromsomes in an organisms with a dipiloid number of 18?
The somatic (body) cells of that organism is the diploid number, 18. The number of chromosomes in the gametes ( sex cells) is half of the diploid number or 9.
How does the number of chromosome in a persons gametes compare with the numbers of chromosomes in the body cells?
There are half as many chromosomes in gametes than in normal body cells.
What cell has half number of chromosomes in body cells?
gametes
Gametes have what kind of Chromosomes?
Gametes have haploid chromosomes, which means they have half the number of chromosomes of other cells in the body.
Is the number of gametes twice the number of chromosomes found in the body cells?
Gametes are cells, in humans they contain 23 chromosomes. Body Cells (Properly Called: Somatic Cells) in humans contain 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23). Some differences or problems can cause this number to change in specific humans, gametes, and somatic cells. Muscle cells may have hundreds of chromosomes, red blood cells have none.
What do somatic cells include?
Body cells. This distinguishes them from sex cells, gametes.
An organisms gametes have double the number of chromosomes found in the organisms body cells.?
No, a gamete has half the number of chromosomes as compared to the organisms body cells.
How does the number of chromosomes in gametes of an organism that reproduces sexually differ from the numbers of chromosomes in other cells?
Unlike somatic (body) cells, gametes have two time the number of chromosomes as body cells. Gametes (2n). Body cells (n). For example, human 46 chromosomes in gamete cells but half of that (23) in body cells.
Which cell type is formed by meiosis?
Meiosis forms haploid cells. This means that they have half the number of chromosomes as somatic (body) cells.
Gametes contain one half one quarter or is equal to the number of alles found in other cells in the body of an organism?
Gametes contain half of the number of chromosomes as somatic cells (the other cells of your body). These chromosomes have the same number of alleles on them as somatic cells, but gametes contain one allele of each gene while somatic cells contain two alleles of each gene. So, they contain half the amount of alleles that the rest of your cells do.
Why do gametes need 12 the number of chromosomes of a regular body cell?
Gametes require half the number of chromosomes of a somatic (regular) cell as gametes are the sex cells. When gametes combine to make a zygote (a fertilised cell), the complete number of chromosomes will be present.
Why is it neccessry to reduce the chromosome number of gametes but not other cells of an organism?
Gametes are sperm and egg cells. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, their genetic material is joined to form a new cell called a zygote. Because both the sperm and egg cells have half the number of chromosomes as in normal body cells, the zygote will have the full number of chromosomes as in normal body cells.
Are most of the cells in the human body called haploid or diploid?
All cells in the human body that are not gametes (sperm or egg cells) are diploid. Gametes are haploid.
