Is sperm the longest cell?
No, sperm cells are not the longest cells in the human body. Nerve cells, also known as neurons, can be several feet long as they can extend from the spinal cord to different parts of the body.
How many sperm cells fertilized the egg cells?
one
In body cells the number of gametes are?
gametes are sperm and egg cells. they arent in cells.
How do you think skin cells are important to other body cells?
Skin cells are important to other body cells because they all have to work together. In the same body just doing different jobs.
Is the liver composed of the body cells?
no. a kidney is not composed of body cells. but liver, sperm, and a single bone are composed of body cells. :)
What are the different cells in the body?
red blood cells, white blood cells, skin cells, sperm cells and egg cells
How does a structure of a sperm differs from normal cell?
A sperm cell is a different shape than a regular body cell. It sort of looks like a lemon with a tail. The main difference the between sperm cells and regular body cells is that sperm cells only have 23 chromosomes compared to the 46 in normal body cells do to undergoing meiosis.
Why are the number of chromosomes in egg sperm cells different from the number of chromosomes in other cells of the body?
well, for one they are haploid (n) whereas other cells in the body (somatic cells) are diploid (2n) this means that sperm cells (egg cells for females) only have half the amount of chromosomes as any other cell in the body
What makes egg cell and sperm cells different from other body cells?
They are seperate cells because together they can combine to make a living organism.
How many chromosomes in normal human eggs and sperm is the same as in the body cells?
There are 23 chromosomes in human egg/sperm. In other human body cells there are 46 chromosomes.
How are sex cells different from any other cells in the body?
Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes that almost all other cells in the body have. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes in body cells, but only 23 in egg cells and sperm cells. This is because, in sexual reproduction, you get half your genes from your mother and half from your father and 23+23=46 total chromosomes.
Is sperm the longest cell?
No, sperm cells are not the longest cells in the human body. Nerve cells, also known as neurons, can be several feet long as they can extend from the spinal cord to different parts of the body.
Do sperm have body cells?
..of course :))
What makes brain cells different from other body cells?
they are different time are activated
Why is it neccessry to reduce the chromosome number of gametes but not other cells of an organism?
Gametes are sperm and egg cells. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, their genetic material is joined to form a new cell called a zygote. Because both the sperm and egg cells have half the number of chromosomes as in normal body cells, the zygote will have the full number of chromosomes as in normal body cells.
Where do sperm cells leave the man's body?
Sperm leave a man's body through the penis.
How are sex cells differ from other cells in the body?
Sperm and eggs each only have half a set of DNA, whereas all other cells contain a full set.
