Chromosomes normally occur as homologous pairs in?

Chromosomes normally occur as homologous pairs in a diploid cell. These refers to matching pairs of chromosomes which are found in the cell.


A species has homologous chromosomes. what does this say about the species?

It has pairs of matching chromosomes (APEX)


What is a cell with pairs of chromosomes called?

Somatic (diploid) cells have pairs of chromosomes. They have 46 chromosomes, making 23 pairs.Gametes are sex cells (eggs and sperm), they only have 23 chromosomes total. This is because they will combine with another gamete to form an embryo that will have 46.


What is the normal number of chromosomes in human body cells?

Each organism has a distinct number of chromosomes, in humans, every cell contains 46 chromosomes. Other organisms have different numbers, for instance, a dog has 78 chromosomes per cell. Somatic Cells - body cells, such as muscle, skin, blood ...etc. These cells contain a complete set of chromosomes (46 in humans) and are called DIPLOID. Sex Cells - also known as gametes. These cells contain half the number of chromosomes as body cells and are called HAPLOID Chromosomes come in pairs, called Homologous Pairs (or homologs). Imagine homologs as a matching set, but they are not exacly alike, like a pair of shoes. Diploid cells have 23 homologous pairs = total of 46 Haploid cells have 23 chromosomes (that are not paired) = total of 23


How many pairs of homologous chromosomes are found in the nucleus of a human somatic tissue cell?
