The answer is 40
The answer is 40
Since the gametes contain one half the number, the zygote will have to have the full number of 40.
23
The whole purpose of reducing the gamete to contain half the number of normal chromosomes is so that normal chromosome numbers can be achieved again when the gametes fuse to form a zygote. If the gamete is not halved, polyploidy results. This is a generic term to describe having more than the normal number of chromosomes.
23 pairs of chromosomes is called the diploid number.--- DNAJamiana:Genotypewhich one dang it don't put two of these answers in this
Gametes, or sex cells such as the sperm or ova contains half the number of chromosomes so that when they combine they have a normal and full set of chromosomes.
There are half as many chromosomes in gametes than in normal body cells.
40.
gametes are haploid (half the normal number of chromosomes)
Sex cells, called gametes, are different to other cells in that they contain half the number of chromosomes. So in a human sex cell, there are 23 chromosomes, whereas a normal human cell has 46 chromosomes.
These are similarities between human spems and egg cells:Number of chromosomes: Normally both contain a haploid chromosome set, i.e. 23 chromosomes, as opposed to normal diploid body cells with 46 chromosomes.Both are developed in a process called meiosis from germ cells.Both are gametes or reproductive cells.
In an average somatic (body) cell, two. and in human gametes there is , one all chromosomes in human body is , 46 chromosomes. in normal female somatic cell is (44+XX) . in normal male somatic cell (44+XY) in normal female gametes (22+X) in normal male gametes (22+X) or (22+Y) .
