It is an egg in her body
A sperm.
Mitosis or Meiosis depends on if you are dividing with a sex cell or a body cell
A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.
A sex cell is haploid, having one set of chromosomes, which is half of the number of chromosomes as in a body cell.
A normal body cell transfers to the testes and become a sex cell.
That is known as a sex cell or gamete.
a zygote is a stem cell
sex cells(gametes) are haploid in nature as compared to body cells(somatic cells) thus the number of chromosomes in a sex cell of a grasshopper is half the number of chromosomes in a body cell
They are body cells. There is only one type of sex cell for each gender: sperm for males and egg cells for females.
Homologous Chromosomes
A somatic, or body, cell is always, or at least typically, DIPLOID. Haploid cells which result from the process called Meiosis are "gametic", or germ, or sex, cells.
Cell that has half the number of chromosomes as body cells.
It is an egg in her body
A sperm.
Cause body cells have twice the chromosomes a sex cell has Body cells have 46 chromosomes and sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
Fifty percent chromosomes from a diploid cell are put into a haploid sex cell. This is achieved by meiosis.
