A somatic, or body, cell is always, or at least typically, DIPLOID. Haploid cells which result from the process called Meiosis are "gametic", or germ, or sex, cells.
Fifty percent chromosomes from a diploid cell are put into a haploid sex cell. This is achieved by meiosis.
Its a haploid .
A haploid female sex cell is an egg cell, also known as an ovum. It contains half the number of chromosomes found in a normal body cell and is produced through the process of meiosis in the ovaries. Upon fertilization by a sperm cell, the egg cell's haploid chromosome number combines with the sperm cell's haploid chromosome number to form a diploid zygote.
They do not have pairs since they are haploid. They have 23 single chromosomes.
A sex cell is haploid, having one set of chromosomes, which is half of the number of chromosomes as in a body cell.
sex cells(gametes) are haploid in nature as compared to body cells(somatic cells) thus the number of chromosomes in a sex cell of a grasshopper is half the number of chromosomes in a body cell
The male sex cell that results from meiosis is called a sperm cell. It is haploid, meaning it contains half the number of chromosomes as a regular body cell.
A gamete, also called a sex cell, is a haploid cell that participates in fertilization by fusing with another haploid cell.
There are 23 haploid chromosomes in a normal human gamete (sex cell).
Meiosis is the process by which haploid sex cells (sperm and egg cells) are produced. During meiosis, a single diploid cell undergoes two rounds of cell division to generate four haploid cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.
In a body cell, there are two sets of chromosomes, which is the diploid condition. In a sex cell, there is one set of chromosomes, which is the haploid condition.
A zygote is diploid, it is formed by the union of a male sex cell (a sperm) and a female sex cell (an ovum) both of which are haploid.
