How many chromosomes does a fertilised egg have?
A fertilized egg has double the number of its egg cell. In case of human there are 46 chromosomes in a fertilised egg.
How many chromosomes do each human egg cell have?
A human egg/sperm cell has 23 chromosomes. When the sperm and egg fuse together,, the zygote (fertilised egg) contains 46 chromosomes. Scientists call this the diploid number, with the sperm/egg having a haploid number of chromosomes. This number varies between species.
The number of chromosomes in a octopus egg cell will be what?
16
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 a human egg or sprem cell the haploid number?
There are 23 chromosomes in a human haploid cell.
Compare the number of chromosomes in a human skin cell to the number of chromosomes in a human egg cell?
yes it has 23 cells.
How many chromosomes does a fertilised egg have?
A fertilized egg has double the number of its egg cell. In case of human there are 46 chromosomes in a fertilised egg.
The total set of chromosomes found in either egg or sperm?
The number of chromosomes found in either and egg of sperm is half the number of chromosomes found in a normal cell of the organism. For example, if you are thinking of a human sperm or egg cell is would be 23 chromosomes, since the normal human cell has 46.
How many chromosomes do each human egg cell have?
A human egg/sperm cell has 23 chromosomes. When the sperm and egg fuse together,, the zygote (fertilised egg) contains 46 chromosomes. Scientists call this the diploid number, with the sperm/egg having a haploid number of chromosomes. This number varies between species.
If the number of chromosomes in the skin cells of an organisim is 28 what is the number of chromosomes in the organisims egg cell?
14
The number of chromosomes in a octopus egg cell will be what?

How many chromosome are in a egg?
Eggs and sperms are gametes. They are haploid. Haploid means that they have half the regular number of chromosomes. This works really well because an egg and a sperm join together to begin a new organism which will then have the entire diploid number of chromosomes. A human body cell would have 46 chromosomes. Since a human egg cell is a reproductive cell (sex cell), it would contain only half the number of chromosomes as a body cell. Thus, a human egg cell would have 23 chromosomes. A sex cell has half the number of chromosomes for a good reason. When two sex cells reproduce, they combine to form double the number of chromosomes. So when two cells with 23 chromosomes each reproduce, the offspring would have 46 chromosomes. To keep humans at 46 chromosomes per cell, sex cells are produced through meiosis, which is a process that creates cells with half the number of chromosomes.
Explain the difference in the number of chromosomes between a frog somatic cell and a frog egg cell?
A somatic cell is any body cell that is a non-sex cell and an egg cell is the female reproductive cell; the female gamete
What two structures of a frog would most likely have the same chromosome number?
the answer to this question is skin cell and fertilized egg cell because these two have 46 chromosomes. the answer to this question is skin cell and fertilized egg cell because these two have 46 chromosomes.
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 a egg cell?
Twenty-three chromosomes are in a human egg cell. 22 are autosomes, the other is an X chromosome.
How many chromosomes are in a human egg or sprem cell the haploid number?
There are 23 chromosomes in a human haploid cell.
