The twenty-three chromosomes in humans is called a haploid number. It refers to the number of chromosomes in a gamete of an organism.

∙ 15y agoYes, in all humans. The diploid number is 46. You divide the diploid number by 2 and get the haploid number.

∙ 9y agoIn humans twenty three chromosomes is called a haploid. A haploid is the number of chromosomes within the nucleus of a cell that constitutes one complete chromosome set.

∙ 9y agoTwenty- three is the haploid number of chromosomes in humans. This is because the whole number of chromosomes is forty six.

What cell would a hiploid be?
A haploid cell is a sex-chromosome without pair. A diploid cell is a sex-chromosome with pairs . People have 22 chromosome pairs and 2 chromosomes they do not have pairs. A man has XY chromosomes and a woman XX chromosomes.
How sperm is form?
That question doesn't make sense but if the question was how is spermed formed, then I'm ur man. Sperm are sex cell( gametes is the posh word), and they are formed by a process called meiosis which is essentially mitosis ( the multiplication of somatic cells) with another division stuck on the end. First the centrioles double and move to the poles of the cell, causing the DNA to double, the DNA lines up at the equator of the cell and is pulled apart by spindle fibres, this makes 2 new cells and that's mitosis, but I'm not done. The2 new cells then split to form 4 new cells with half the number of original chromosomes, this is called the haploid number, the diploid number is the full set of chromosomes. The human haploid number is 23 and the diploid number is 46
What is a rat karyotype?
chromosomes having centromere of same size and position
How many chromosomes does the black man have?
All humans, other than those with genetic disorders such as Down Syndrome, have 23 pairs of chromosomes, no matter what their skin color is. Skin color does not have anything to do with how many chromosomes a person has.
Why is it important that gametes contain only a single set of chromosomes?
An adult cell is "diploid", it has 2 sets of each chromosome.To make a sex cell these chromosomes pairs are split in two (during mitosis) and one half of each pair goes into each gamete (the sperm in a man or an egg/ovum in a woman) which is "haploid". The "haploid" gametes therefore contain half the number of chromosomes as compared to an adult call.When a man an a woman have sex the gametes from each meet and fuse together, giving the zygote produced 2 sets of each chromosome - back to the "diploid" state. The zygote then grows into the new baby which contains half the generic code form the mother and half the genetic code form the father - a wonderful new mix.
What is the difference between haploid and diploid chromosomes. How is this important to continuing life?
A somatic body cell contains two sets of chromosomes called diploid number. Gametes i.e. sperms and eggs have haploid number of chromosomes , they are produced by meiosis , they fuse to restore diploid number ,e.g. in man diploid no. is 46 and haploid no. is 23 .

The number of possible genetically different gamete for an organism quals 2n where n is the number of pairs of chromosomes if an organism has six pairs of chromosomes how man different gametes can it?

How many chromosomes does an orangutan sperm cell have?
The diploid chromosome number for the orangutan is 48 (two more than man), so an orangutan sperm cell would contain 24 chromosomes.
What pair of sex chromosomes does a man have?
xy
Which cells in your bodies are haploid?
only your gametes (eggs if you're a woman and sperm if you're a man)
How can a woman have heterozygous sex chromosomes?
No. Only a man can.
How many and what type of sex chromosomes does a man have?
A male has two sex chromosomes, one X and one Y.
How does the chromosomes in a nerve cell differ from those in a sperm cell?
The sperm cell is haploid (has half as many chromasomes as the diploid nerve cell)The sperm cell can contain more mutations (depending on the age of the man, this is the basis of anticipation)The sperm cell's chromasome has undergone recombination (I'm assuming you know what that is)
What is a rat karyotype?
chromosomes having centromere of same size and position
Why is colorblindness or hemophilla more common in males than females?
Men Have XY chromosomes. women have XX chromosomes. To get Hemophilia, all of your X chromosomes have to be affected. as you can see, it is much easier for a man to get it than a woman.
