What is the usual number of chromosomes within a cell?

Cells are usually diploid and contain two of each chromosome. A normal human cell contains 46 chromosomes, however this number is dependent on the type of organism. For example, dogs have 78 chromosomes and cats have 38 chromosomes.


What is a karyotype and what type of mutation does it show?

A karyotype is a picture of the chromosomes in a cell. For example, a human cell has 46 chromosomes. In the karyotype, 23 pairs of chromosomes will be shown (23 x 2 = 46). A karyotype can show different types of mutations, depending on which chromosome it affects. For example, Down Syndrome is a trisomy in chromosome 21, so there will be THREE instead of two chromosome 21s. You can research more mutations shown by chromosomes in a karyotype.


How many chromosome are in the original cell compared to those in the new cells formed by cell division?

In Mitosis when only 2 cells are formed out of one the number of chromosomes is the same in Meiosis when ultimately 4 new cells are formed the number of chromosomes is also the same, HOWEVER these chromosomes each contain half the number of genes as theses cells are gametes


After mitosis the number of chromosomes in each daughter cell will be?

Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two genetically identical diploid cells. It depends on how many chromosomes were in the original cell, and because mitosis splits each chromosome into a tetrad, it can vary.


In what type of human cell is the chromosome number 23?

No, there are 46 chromosomes in the human body cell. However, there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete cell.

What are chromosomes in the nucleus?

chromosome is structure made up of DNA and histones, a type of protein. DNA in a cell is HUGE (about 2meters long in humans) and in order to fit into a cell, it is wrapped around the histones and coiled up even further to form a chromosome.


In what type of cell division does the chromosome number reduce by one half and gametes form?

Meiosis produces gametes which have half the number of chromosomes that other cells of the body have.
