Meiosis
I believe it is Meiosis that produces new cells with each having half as many chromosomes as the original parent cells.
Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell, and are said to be haploid. In human sex cells there are 23 chromosomes.
Elephants have a diploid number of 56 chromosomes, which means their egg cells (ova) contain half of that number, or 28 chromosomes. This is typical for many species, where egg and sperm cells contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic (body) cells.
Meiosis.
46 chromosomes (23 pairs) half from the mom half from the dad
Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes compared to regular cells. Regular cells in the human body have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), while sex cells (sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes each.
Half the number that are in the adults normal body cells
It has half of whatever the organism's regular cells have.
There are exactly 6 , because the daughter cells always half of how many the parent cells have .
There are half as many chromosomes in gametes than in normal body cells.
A haploid cell contains one set of chromosomes, which is half the number of chromosomes found in a diploid cell. In humans, for example, haploid cells (like sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes, while diploid cells (like most body cells) have 46 chromosomes. Thus, a haploid has half the diploid chromosome number.
In the sex cells of a dogfish shark, there would typically be 12 chromosomes. This is because sex cells, such as sperm and eggs, are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. Since muscle cells in the dogfish shark contain 24 chromosomes, their sex cells would contain half that number.
