What is the name given to body cells due to the number of chromosomes?
Diploid Cells
How do the number of chromosomes in a female scorpion's egg cells compare with the number in her body (somatic) cells?
There are 46 chromosomes in your body cells. The egg cells have half the amount of chromosomes as the body cells, so there are 23 chromosomes in the egg cells.
What did Sutton observe about the relative numbers of chromosomes in the body cells and sex cells of grasshoppers?
body cells of a grasshopper has 24 chromosomes and 12 chromosomes in the sex cells so as many body cell chromosomes you have you will have half that number of chromosomes in your sex cells.
An organisms gametes have double the number of chromosomes found in the organisms body cells.?
No, a gamete has half the number of chromosomes as compared to the organisms body cells.
What chromosomes are found in body cells but not sex cells?
Sex cells (better known as gametes) being product of meiosis have single set (haploid number) of chromosomes whereas body cells have diploid number. Thus, 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XY), thus 46 chromosomes are present in our body cells. The gametes (sex cells) contain only 23 chromosomes in each.

Do Body cells only have half the total number of chromosomes?
All body cells contain a total number of 46 chromosomes except sex cells (the egg and the sperm) which have half the number of chromosomes (23) no.... body cells or somatic cells have 46 chromosomes which is the diploid chromosome number of homo sapiens... gametes or sex cells have 23 chromosomes which is the haploid chromosome number...
How does the number of chromosomes in gametes of an organism that reproduces sexually differ from the numbers of chromosomes in other cells?
Unlike somatic (body) cells, gametes have two time the number of chromosomes as body cells. Gametes (2n). Body cells (n). For example, human 46 chromosomes in gamete cells but half of that (23) in body cells.
Why is it important that sex cells have exactly the number of chromosomes as the body cells?
The DO NOT "have exactly the number of chromosomes as the body cells", they have 1/2 that number. This is so that when two sex cells come together to form an embryo, the cells of that embryo have exactly the same number of chromosomes as the body cells of the two parents and not twice that number.
What did Sutton observe about the relative numbers of chromosomes in the body cells and sex cells of grasshoppers?
body cells of a grasshopper has 24 chromosomes and 12 chromosomes in the sex cells so as many body cell chromosomes you have you will have half that number of chromosomes in your sex cells.
The number of chromosomes in sex cells relative to the body cells?
there are half the number of chromosomes in sex cells than in body cells because the sex cell needs to combine with another to complete its set of chromosomes
How does the number of chromosomes in a grasshoppers body cell compare to the number in its sex cell?
sex cells(gametes) are haploid in nature as compared to body cells(somatic cells) thus the number of chromosomes in a sex cell of a grasshopper is half the number of chromosomes in a body cell
How does a number of chromosomes in a person's sex cells compare with the number of chromosomes in the body cells?
In the sex cells you only have half of the number of chromosomes- 23 instead of 46 which is what you have in your other body cells This is because when the sperm fertilizes the egg, the two nuclei fuse together and the chromosomes combine so you then have the right number for normal body cells to develop in the baby.
