Genes
Your chromosomes contain your genetic material.
9 chromosomes
Sex cells (better known as gametes) being product of meiosis have single set (haploid number) of chromosomes whereas body cells have diploid number. Thus, 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XY), thus 46 chromosomes are present in our body cells. The gametes (sex cells) contain only 23 chromosomes in each.
1.Grasshoppers: 24 chromosomes in body cells, 12 in sex cells. 2.Chromosomes contain genes that givve things charecteristics.
46.The cells of the human body, for example in the liver, brain, and muscles, contain two sets of chromosomes, and are called diploid. There are 23 chromosomes in each set, and we inherit 23 from each parent.
Your chromosomes contain your genetic material.
Bacteria contain one circular chromosome (and several tiny circular plasmids), some slime molds contain hundreds of thousands of linear chromosomes. Other organisms contain various numbers of chromosomes depending on the species.
9 chromosomes
Sex cells contain half the number of chromosomes that body cells contain.
chromosomes contain mitochondria, which acts just like a battery.
No. These cells contain only half the number of chromosomes as the other cells of the body. Each egg and sperm cell contain only 23 chromosomes.
Human cells contain forty-six chromosomes each. An exception to this is gametes (oocytes and sperm), which contain twenty-three chromosomes each.
46 chromosomes
Diploid
A somatic cell (body cell) is a cell that would have homologous chromosomes.
No. DNA doesn't contain chromosomes. Chromosomes are DNA.
You get the other 23 from the opposite sex. The semen and the egg combines and gets 46 chromosomes. If each gamete contained 46 chromosomes, the zygote would contain 92 chromosomes.
