How many chromosome are found in sex cell?
The number of chromosomes found in a sex gell depends on the organism discussed. The number of chromosomes in a sex cell is half the number found in the body cells. Human body cells have 46 chromosomes, their sex cells have 23.
The number of chromosomes in a gamete of an organism is its what chromosome number?
Its haploid number, which will be half the number of chromosomes found in somatic (non-sex) cells - the diploid number.
How many chromosomes are in a mature sex cell?
A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.
What produces cells that have half normal number of chromosomes found in body cells?
Meiosis, the division of sex cells, produces cells with half the number of chromosomes found in body cells. This is for a very simple reason - when a male sex cell and a female sex cell combine, they form one cell with the full number of chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in a mature sperm cell?
A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.
Genes found on the x and y chromosomes are often called?
sex-linked genes
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.
How does the number of chromosomes in sex cell compare to the number of chromosomes in cells formed during mitosis?
it compares by 50% or by half of chromosomes because there are 23 sex cells and 46 chromosomes

What does sex linked alleles mean?
Sex linked genes occur only on the X or the Y sex chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in their sex cells?
Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell, and are said to be haploid. In human sex cells there are 23 chromosomes.
