There are 46 chromosomes in a human body cell.
Cells are not found in chromosomes. Chromosomes are found in cells.
Sex cells, also known as gametes, typically contain 23 chromosomes in humans. This is half the number of chromosomes found in other body cells, which have 46 chromosomes. When two gametes combine during fertilization, they create a zygote with the full complement of 46 chromosomes.
Gametophytes of angiosperms have cells with nuclei that typically contain a haploid number of chromosomes, which is half the number found in somatic cells. This means that gametophyte cells usually have one set of chromosomes.
No, a gamete has half the number of chromosomes as compared to the organisms body cells.
The cells that have a haploid complement of chromosomes are the gametes - the ovum and the sperm.
In humans, the diploid number (or 2n) is 46. Somatic cells contain 2n number of chromosomes. Somatic cells are those that make up the body. Every cells that makes up every organ contains 2n number of chromosomes. Gametes (or sex cells) contain haploid (n) number of 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.
there is no nucleus in eukaryotic cells, the chromosomes are found in the mitochondria
Gametes are cells, in humans they contain 23 chromosomes. Body Cells (Properly Called: Somatic Cells) in humans contain 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23). Some differences or problems can cause this number to change in specific humans, gametes, and somatic cells. Muscle cells may have hundreds of chromosomes, red blood cells have none.
Chromosomes are found within the nucleus in eukaryotic cells and within the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells.
Its haploid number, which will be half the number of chromosomes found in somatic (non-sex) cells - the diploid number.
Haploid chromosomes are single sets of chromosomes found in the reproductive cells of an organism. In humans, haploid cells are created through the process of meiosis, where each parent donates one set of chromosomes to the offspring. Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells, which contain two sets of chromosomes.
