Determine how many chromosomes are in the original cell compared to those in the new cell formed by cell division Explain?

The original cell and the new cell formed by cell division have the same number of chromosomes. In most cases, cell division, whether through mitosis or meiosis, results in daughter cells with an identical set of chromosomes to the parent cell, maintaining the chromosome number of the species.


Explain the difference in the number of chromosomes between a frog somatic cell and a frog egg cell?

A frog somatic cell typically has a diploid number of chromosomes, which is twice the haploid number. This means it has two sets of chromosomes. On the other hand, a frog egg cell is haploid, meaning it only has one set of chromosomes. In frogs, both the somatic cell (2n) and the egg cell (n) have 26 chromosomes.


Where is the location of the chromosomes in the cell?

the chromosomes are in the merherder region of the cell


Does a sperm cell have the same chromosomes as a cheek cell?

No, a sperm cell and a cheek cell do not have the same chromosomes. A sperm cell is a haploid cell containing 23 chromosomes, while a cheek cell is a somatic cell with 46 chromosomes, which is diploid.


If a cell division has 64 chromosomes how many chromosomes will the new cells have after cell division?

if a cell has 64 chromosomes together, all the offspring cells will have 64 chromosomes each.


What is a cell with pairs of chromosomes called and a cell with no pairs of chromosomes?

A cell with pairs of chromosomes is called a diploid cell, while a cell with no pairs of chromosomes is called a haploid cell. Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, while haploid cells have only one set of chromosomes.


How many pairs of autosomal chromosomes do you have in a cell?

You have 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes in a cell and 1 pair of sexomal chromosomes in that same cell.


How many chromosomes does each new cell contains after mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?

How many chromosomes does each new cell contain after mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?


How many chromosomes does each new cell contain mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?

How many chromosomes does each new cell contain after mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?

What is cell with pairs of chromosomes called a cell with no pairs of chromosomes?

A cell with pairs of chromosomes is called a diploid cell, while a cell with no pairs of chromosomes is called a haploid cell. Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, while haploid cells have only one set of chromosomes.


If a diploid cell containing 28 chromosomes undergoes meiosis how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?

Each daughter cell produced by meiosis will have half the number of chromosomes as the original diploid cell. So, if a diploid cell contains 28 chromosomes, each daughter cell will have 14 chromosomes after meiosis.
