Yes. All healthy cells, except for reproductive cells, need 46 chromosomes to function properly.

Why is it important sex cells have half the number of chromosomesas body cells?
This is important because two sex cells become fertilized and join together to form the new organism. If sex cells had the same number of chromosomes as body cells, then offspring would have twice as many chromosomes as a normal animal would.
How maby chromosomes will be contasined in new cells?
In humans, 46 chromosomes in all cells. (23 homologous pairs)
If a cell division has 64 chromosomes how many chromosomes will the new cells have after cell division?
if a cell has 64 chromosomes together, all the offspring cells will have 64 chromosomes each.
How many chromosomes are in the new daughter cells for meiosis?
4 cells
Mitosis is the process a single cell uses to divide into two new identical cells. What do we call each set of cells?
In mitosis, the important thing to remember is that the daughter cells each have the same chromosomes and DNA as the parent cell. The daughter cells from mitosis are called diploid cells. Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes.
How many chromosomes will the new skin cells have?
Skin cells divide via mitosis - therefore the new cells will have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. Therefore in humans, the new skin cells will have 46 chromosomes.
Why is it important sex cells have half the number of chromosomesas body cells?
This is important because two sex cells become fertilized and join together to form the new organism. If sex cells had the same number of chromosomes as body cells, then offspring would have twice as many chromosomes as a normal animal would.
Why is it important to have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells?
The gametes must have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells because they unite to form a zygote, which is the first body cell of the new organism. For example, human body cells have 46 chromosomes and human gametes (sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the zygote will have 46 chromosomes, and is the first body cell of the new human.
Why is it important that the cells DNA is duplicating before cell division?
So that the two new cells that are going to be made have an equal amount of chromosomes in them.
How maby chromosomes will be contasined in new cells?
In humans, 46 chromosomes in all cells. (23 homologous pairs)
The diploid body cells of a frog contains 26 chromosomes If these cells undergo mitosis how many chromosomes will be in each new cell?
There are 26 chromosomes in the somatic cells of the Leopard Frog.
If a cell division has 64 chromosomes how many chromosomes will the new cells have after cell division?
if a cell has 64 chromosomes together, all the offspring cells will have 64 chromosomes each.
Why is it important that sex cells have half the number of of chromosomes as body cells?
This happens so the genetic material from both parents combines to make new set.
How many chromosomes are in the new daughter cells for meiosis?
4 cells
What produces new cells with each having half as many chromosomes as the origianal cells?
I believe it is Meiosis that produces new cells with each having half as many chromosomes as the original parent cells.
When chromosomes replicate they produce?
when the chromosomes are replicated the cells were about to divide into 2 cells (mitosis)
At the end of meiosis II each of the haploid sex cells has only half the number of chromosomes as the original diploid cell why is this important?
Because then, when the sex cells combine in reproduction, the egg's chromosomes and the sperm's chromosomes will combine to form the original amount of chromosomes in a diploid cell, so it can replicate with a new set of DNA.
