The chromosomes in a gamete at the end of meiosis are haploid in number, 23 chromosomes in humans, 22 somatic chromosomes and 1 sex chromosome, either X or Y. Body cells have a diploid number of chromosomes, 46 chromosomes, 23 pair and 2 sex chromosomes included in that number.

∙ 11y agoIn contrast to a gamete, the diploid somatic cells of an individual contain one copy of the chromosome set from the sperm and one copy of the chromosome set from the egg; that is, the cells of the offspring have genes expressing characteristics of both the father and the mother. A gamete's chromosomes are not exact duplicates of either of the sets of chromosomes carried in the somatic cells of the individual that produced the gametes. They can be hybrids produced through crossover (a form of genetic recombination) of chromosomes, which takes place in meiosis. This hybridization has a random element, and the chromosomes tend to be a little different in every gamete that an individual produces. This recombination and the fact that the two chromosome sets ultimately come from either a grandmother or a grandfather on each parental side account for the genetic dissimilarity of siblings.

What is the difference between autosome and chromosomes?
what is the difference between autosome and sex chromosomes
If a diploid organism has a genome consisting of twenty two chromosomes its gametes will have how many chromosomes?
Gametes have half the number of chromosomes - therefore if the diploid number is 22, the gametes would have 11 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in a haploid gametes?
23 chromosomes
If somatic cell has 30 chromosomes how many are in the gametes?
Since gametes are haploids, they would each contain haploid number of chromosomes, 15 chromosomes.
If a cell has 14 chromosomes and undergoes meiosis how many chromosomes will each cell have?
The daughter cells will have 14 chromosomes, the same as the parent cell. Not only are the numbers of chromosomes the same, but they are also genetically identical to each other and the parent cell.
How are gemetes different from other cells in the body?
The most obvious difference is that gametes are haploid, meaning that they contain only half the full complement of chromosomes in a somatic cell. There are also structural difference between the sperm and the egg and the gametes of different species.
Gametes have what kind of Chromosomes?
Gametes have haploid chromosomes, which means they have half the number of chromosomes of other cells in the body.
What is the difference between autosome and chromosomes?
what is the difference between autosome and sex chromosomes
If a diploid organism has a genome consisting of twenty two chromosomes its gametes will have how many chromosomes?
Gametes have half the number of chromosomes - therefore if the diploid number is 22, the gametes would have 11 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in a haploid gametes?
23 chromosomes
What does Gametes have?
Homologous chromosomes
How many pairs of chromosomes found in a gametes?
In human gametes, chromosomes are not paired. Instead, each gamete has one set of 23 chromosomes, and is said to be haploid.
Why do gametes need 12 the number of chromosomes of a regular body cell?
Gametes require half the number of chromosomes of a somatic (regular) cell as gametes are the sex cells. When gametes combine to make a zygote (a fertilised cell), the complete number of chromosomes will be present.
How many chromosomes in human gametes?
23, there are 23 chromosomes in human gametes
If somatic cell has 30 chromosomes how many are in the gametes?
Since gametes are haploids, they would each contain haploid number of chromosomes, 15 chromosomes.
Are gametes associated with diploid chromosomes?
No
If a cell has 14 chromosomes and undergoes meiosis how many chromosomes will each cell have?
The daughter cells will have 14 chromosomes, the same as the parent cell. Not only are the numbers of chromosomes the same, but they are also genetically identical to each other and the parent cell.
