What is the number of chromosomes per daughter cell through mitosis?
After mitotic cell division, each daughter cell contains the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
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.
A cell with a diploid number of 20 undergoes meiosis. this will produce?
It will have 4 daughter cells and 10 chromosome per daughter cell because the number of chromosomes you start with is doubled and then divided by four.
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.
If uekaryotic cell has one chromosome what is it called?
For a eukaryotic cell to have only one chromosome it must be a sex cell or a genome in an organism that normally only has 2 chromosomes per cell. I'm not sure if this is exactly what you mean...
How many chromosomes are in a human zygote which has Down Syndrome?
Human cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes, giving a total of 46 per cell.
What is the number of chromosomes per daughter cell after meosis?
After meiosis, each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. For example, in humans the parent cell would have 46 chromosomes, but after meiotic cell division, the daughter cells will each have 23 chromosomes.
What is processed by which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half?
Cell Division.
What is the number of chromosomes per daughter cell through mitosis?
After mitotic cell division, each daughter cell contains the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Note that some mature cells in your body do not have any chromosomes, some have 26 chromosomes and some cells have 99 chromosomes.
What is the number of chromosomes per daughter cell in meiosis?
Same number as the parent cell
Which cell contains only a single set of chromosomes?
A single complete set of chromosomes is called a haploid set of chromosomes. It is generally represented by the letter N. In humans for example, there are a total of 46 chromosomes per somatic cell. Since there are two copies of each chromosome. the 2N number for human is 46 and N = 23.
How would you describe the process of meiosis?
Meiosis is a process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.
In the first division of meiosis that you just observed what happens to the number of chromosomes per cell?
It depends on what the animal or plant is. For humans, the first division results in 23 chromosomes per cell
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
Process by which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut half used by organisms to produce gametes?
Meiosis takes a cell from 2N (Diploid) to N (haploid) and produces 4 daughter cells at 23 chromosomes. These are the sex gametes. A normal 2N cell would have 46 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in one body cell?
Most body cells contain 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs; one chromosome in each pair comes from the mother, one from the father. The gamete cells (sex cells) contain 23 chromosomes per cell. When a sperm cell (with 23 chromosomes from the father), fertilises an egg cell (with 23 chromosomes from the mother), the resulting fertilised egg has 46 chromosomes. Via cell division, it grows into a human, with 46 chromosomes in each of its body cells. In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. Twenty-two of these pairs, called autosomes, look the same in both males and females. The 23rd pair, the sex chromosomes, differ between males and females. Females have two copies of the X chromosome, while males have one X and one Y chromosome.
