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.

What percent of chromosomes that are in a diploid body cell are put into a haploid sex cell?

Fifty percent chromosomes from a diploid cell are put into a haploid sex cell. This is achieved by meiosis.


Is a sex cell a diploid or a haploid?

Its a haploid .


What is a haploid female sex cell?

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.


How many pairs of chromosomes does a human body haploid sex cell have?

They do not have pairs since they are haploid. They have 23 single chromosomes.


The number of chromosomes in a sex cell of an organism is what kind of chromosome?

A sex cell is haploid, having one set of chromosomes, which is half of the number of chromosomes as in a body cell.


How does the number of chromosomes in a grasshoppers body cell compare to the number in its sex 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


What is the male sex cell that results from meiosis?

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.


What is a gamets?

A gamete, also called a sex cell, is a haploid cell that participates in fertilization by fusing with another haploid cell.


How many chromosomes are present in a normal human sex cell?

There are 23 haploid chromosomes in a normal human gamete (sex cell).


A process by which haploid sex cells are produced?

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.


Are the chromosome single or double?

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.


Is a zygote dibloid or haploid?

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.
