Want this question answered?
yes that is correct a diploid cell does have chromosomes found in pairs
human diploid numbers are 46 chromosomes (the total amount of chromosomes) and the haploid number is 23 (half the number of chromosomes) in meiosis the desired number is the haploid number for gametes (sex cells) and it becomes the diploid number after fertilization and for mitosis its the diploid number because it wants to maintain its chromosomes since its not sexual reproduction
Its haploid number, which will be half the number of chromosomes found in somatic (non-sex) cells - the diploid number.
Short Answer is: twice the number of Chromosomes as found in the gametic [Haploid] Cells.
The diploid number is the total number of chromosomes found in the autosomes, or non-gamete cells of an organism. The diploid number includes both chromosomes of each homologous pair. Gametes, on the other hand, carry only one chromosome from each homologous pair; they are haploid rather than diploid. Gametes therefore carry half the number of chromosomes that autosomes do.
23. Germ cells (sperm and egg cells) are haploid, which is to say they possess half of the total number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. Somatic cells in humans have two sets of 23 unique chromosomes for a total of 46 chromosomes.
Two sets of chromosomes are found in a diploid cell.
Yes, the chromosomes double/make a copy of themselves.
Yes, the chromosomes double/make a copy of themselves.
An ootid is a haploid cell, which means that it contains half the number of chromosomes as the original diploid cell. In a human, an ootid would have 23 chromosomes.
Haploid number of 6
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.
