How many chromosomes does a cheek cell have?

46 chromosomes. The only cells in the human body that do not contain 46 chromosomes are specialist cells which have no cell nucleus (eg a human red blood cell) and reproductive cells, which only contain 23 chromosomes. Thus the cheek cell of the animal would be no different from any other cell in its number of chromosomes and would contain the full number of chromosomes for that animal.


How many chromosomes are in a humans sex cells?

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


How many chromosomes are in a human heart cell?

Same as any other somatic cell - 46.


How many chromosomes found in human skin?

The same as in any other human autosomal cell, 46.


How many chromosomes are present in human sex cells?

The human sex cell or human gamete has half the number of cells that any other normal human cell would have. A normal human cell (the one from your skin, mouth, lung, liver, sex organs, etc.) has 23 pairs of chromosomes and as such are called diploid cells. The sex cells are haploid having only 23 number of chromosomes as they unite with another haploid cell to create a normal cell with complete set of 23 pairs of chromosomes. The 23rd chromosome on a male human gamete is either the X or the Y chromosome while on the female gamete it is always the X chromosome.


When and where could you find a homologous pair of chromosomes?

A pair of homologous chromosomes can be found within any regular diploid cell. Basically, this is any cell in the human body that is not egg or sperm.


How many chromosomes dose a human nerve cell have?

The same number as any other cell in a cat except its germ cells (also called sex cells). Remember, all somatic (aka body) cells in an animal possess the exact same chromosome complement which is two copies of each chromosome.


How does the chromosome number of a muscle cell compare to that of an egg cell from the same animal?

A sperm cell is the male sex cell. As such it only carries 1/2 of the number of chromosomes of a regular cell. This is because it fuses with the female sex cell to form a complete set of chromosomes. Essentially, where the number of chromosomes in the muscle cell is 2n, the sperm cell only has n chromosomes.


How many chromosomes are in the human liver cell?

Any somatic cells in a diploid eukaryotic organism will have the diploid number (2n) of chromosomes. For humans that number is 46. To unpack that: humans are diploid organisms. That is, our cells contain two copies of every chromosome we have. One copy is inherited from our mothers, the other from our fathers. Because we have 23 pairs of chromosomes (n=23), the total number of chromosomes in a human cell is 46 (2n=46). For the most part it doesn't matter what kind of cell you're talking about in a human body - brain cell, fat cell, liver cell (more technically called hepatocytes) - they will all have the same 46 chromosomes in them. All cells in your body are genetically identical - they differ in which genes are turned on, not by which genes they possess. (N.B.: There are a few exceptions to this, notably red blood cells and germ line cells. Mature red blood cells have no nuclei and no chromosomes at all! And germ line cells - that is sperm, eggs, and their precursors - will have only 23 chromosomes. This permits a sperm cell with 23 chromsomes and an egg cell with 23 chromosomes to fuse to produce a proper human zygote with 46 chromosomes.)


Did any cell has odd number of chromosomes in it?

in humans the sperm and egg cells (gametes) have 23, half the number of chromosomes as in normal cells


How many chromosomes exist in your body?

A normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. If you had an average of 40 trillion cells in your body that had 412 chromosomes you would have 4456 trillion chromosomes in your body. Note that some mature cells in your body do not have any chromosomes, some have 26 chromosomes and some cells have 99 chromosomes.


Skin cells have how many pairs of chromosomes?

Yes, any cell of an organism, whether it be a skin cell, brain cell, muscle cell, or other, has chromosomes. Humans have 23 unique chromosomes which come in pairs in every cell of their body.
