What is a haploid female reproductive cell?

As you may know, almost all our cells contain pairs of chromosomes - 23 pairs to be exact. These are called diploid. Haploid cells contain only one chromosome from each pair. Reproductive cells (both male and female) are haploid, so they can fuse and form a diploid cell with chromosomes from both the male and the female. The female reproductive cell (which is haploid) is the ovum, or egg cell.


What is the outermost part of the female reproductive system?

The outermost part of the female reproductive system is the labia majora. It is a pair of outer fleshy folds that surround and protect the other external reproductive organs.


What is the egg cell in a female's body?

What is a egg cell in the female?

The egg cell, also called the haploid cell, is the female gamete. A pair of gametes, egg and sperm, are what are needed in order for reproduction to occur.

What does a female cat's reproductive anatomy look like?

How does number of chromosomes in a human body cell compare with the number of chromosomes in a human reproductive cell?

In the human body there are 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 in total); in reproductive cells there are only one half of the pair (or 23 in total). During fertilization the 23 from the male sperm cell fuse with the 23 from the female ovule and recombine as two pairs of 23 chromosomes (46 again in total). Normal human cells are diploid (2n), while sex cells are haploid (n)


What is the meaning of fallopian tubes are patent?

How many chromosomes are there in sex cells and why?

22 pair of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. A male determines the sex with XY chromosomes and the female only has YY. 23; half of the normal 46 for a cell. This is so when the male and female cells meet, they will form a normal 46-chromosome cell.


What is a cell that contains one member of each chromosome pair?

In organisms that reproduce sexually, their sex cells, or gametes, are haploid. This means they only have one copy of each gene. So gametes are cells that only contain one chromosome for each pair.
