Where are the human cells with 46 chromosomes found?

In humans, the diploid number (or 2n) is 46. Somatic cells contain 2n number of chromosomes. Somatic cells are those that make up the body. Every cells that makes up every organ contains 2n number of chromosomes. Gametes (or sex cells) contain haploid (n) number of chromosomes

The white-tailed deer has cells containing 70 chromosomes Assume that one body cell of a male deer undergoes meiosis and produces four sperm cells How many chromosomes are in each sperm cell?

The answer is 35 chromosomes.Explanation:Sperm (and eggs) are called gametes or "sex cells". They are formed by the process of meiosis, sometimes called "reduction division," because they reduce the amount of genetic information by half.Normal body cells (in this example, any non-sex cell of the deer) contain a full set of all of the deer's chromosomes (or 2n chromosomes), and are called "diploid" cells. In this case, 2n=70. Normal body cells or dipoid cells may also be referred to as somatic cells in some texts.Gametes or sex cells are also called "haploid" cells, because they have half the genetic information (half of the chromosomes) found in a normal cell in the body of an organism. Haploid cells are also said to have n chromosomes. In this case n=35.So, if you need to find the number of chromosome in a either sperm or egg, remember that it is half of the number of chromosomes in the other cells of the organism. Simply divide the number by 2 and you will get the answer.Note: Meiosis or reduction division occurs so that when sperm and egg combine (fertilization) the resulting cell will have 2n, or the "normal" number of chromosomes.


Body cells are called?

Body cells are called somatic cells. Soma- means body. Germ cells are those that produce egg or sperm.
