How many chromosomes do eukaryotic organisms have in their body cells?

It depends on the type of eukaryotic organism. For example, both humans and fruit flies are a part of the kingdom Animalia, which is composed solely of eukaryotic organisms. However, humans have 43 chromosomes in 23 homologous pairs, while fruit flies have 8 chromosomes in 4 homologous pairs.

∙ 11y agoThat varies widely by organism.
Humans.
Somatic cells, save some exceptions, have 46 chromosomes, 23 pairs.
Sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
Your dog.
Somatic cells have 78 chromosomes.
Sex cells have 39 chromosome.
And on and on throughout the long lists of organisms. Google chromosome numbers in organisms.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIt depends on the species. Humans have 46 chromosomes. Refer to the related link for a list of organisms listed according to chromosome number.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIt depends on the organism; however, body cells of eukaryotes are with few exceptions diploid.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThere are 23 pairs of chromosomes found in a cell, which makes 46 in total.

∙ 12y agothat depends on what species the cell belongs to
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIt depends on what animal or plant it is. Every species is different. Humans, for example, have 46.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThe number of chromosomes in a eukaryotic body cell is diploid, meaning there are two sets of chromosomes. In humans the diploid number of chromosomes is 46, or two sets of 23.

How many chromosomes do body cells of organisms have in relationship to the sex cells of the same organism?
There are 46 chromosomes in the body cells of organisms which have a relationship with the sex cells.
Is the number of gametes twice the number of chromosomes found in the body cells?
Gametes are cells, in humans they contain 23 chromosomes. Body Cells (Properly Called: Somatic Cells) in humans contain 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23). Some differences or problems can cause this number to change in specific humans, gametes, and somatic cells. Muscle cells may have hundreds of chromosomes, red blood cells have none.
Are humans consider as organism?
Yes. Human beings are living organisms because they are composed of cells inside their body.
How does the number of chromosomes in gametes of an organism that reproduces sexually differ from the numbers of chromosomes in other cells?
Unlike somatic (body) cells, gametes have two time the number of chromosomes as body cells. Gametes (2n). Body cells (n). For example, human 46 chromosomes in gamete cells but half of that (23) in body cells.
What is the normal number of chromosomes in human body cells?
Each organism has a distinct number of chromosomes, in humans, every cell contains 46 chromosomes. Other organisms have different numbers, for instance, a dog has 78 chromosomes per cell. Somatic Cells - body cells, such as muscle, skin, blood ...etc. These cells contain a complete set of chromosomes (46 in humans) and are called DIPLOID. Sex Cells - also known as gametes. These cells contain half the number of chromosomes as body cells and are called HAPLOID Chromosomes come in pairs, called Homologous Pairs (or homologs). Imagine homologs as a matching set, but they are not exacly alike, like a pair of shoes. Diploid cells have 23 homologous pairs = total of 46 Haploid cells have 23 chromosomes (that are not paired) = total of 23
How many chromosomes do body cells of organisms have in relationship to the sex cells of the same organism?
There are 46 chromosomes in the body cells of organisms which have a relationship with the sex cells.
An organisms gametes have double the number of chromosomes found in the organisms body cells.?
No, a gamete has half the number of chromosomes as compared to the organisms body cells.
Do people have prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells?
The cells found in the human body are eukaryotic cells. Organisms that have eukaryotic cells are usually multicellular like humans. Organisms that have prokaryotic cells are usually unicelluar, like bacteria.
Where genes and chromosomes are found in your body?
Answerchromosomes are found mostly in the nucleus of your cells and there is where you will find the chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in the body cells of an organisms that has haploid number of 8?
16
How are body cells different from sex cells?
Cause body cells have twice the chromosomes a sex cell has Body cells have 46 chromosomes and sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
Is the number of gametes twice the number of chromosomes found in the body cells?
Gametes are cells, in humans they contain 23 chromosomes. Body Cells (Properly Called: Somatic Cells) in humans contain 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23). Some differences or problems can cause this number to change in specific humans, gametes, and somatic cells. Muscle cells may have hundreds of chromosomes, red blood cells have none.
How do the number of chromosomes in a female scorpion's egg cells compare with the number in her body (somatic) cells?
There are 46 chromosomes in your body cells. The egg cells have half the amount of chromosomes as the body cells, so there are 23 chromosomes in the egg cells.
What is are complex cells in the human body called?
There are eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells are more complex.
What did Sutton observe about the relative numbers of chromosomes in the body cells and sex cells of grasshoppers?
body cells of a grasshopper has 24 chromosomes and 12 chromosomes in the sex cells so as many body cell chromosomes you have you will have half that number of chromosomes in your sex cells.
Which type of cell division only occurs in organisms whose cells contain chromosomes?
If they are somatic (body cells) then mitosis. If they are germ (sex) cells it is meiosis.
Wheat has 42 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are in their body cells?
The 'body' cells have 42 chromosomes. The sex cells would have 21 chromosomes. 3 X 7
