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 are body cells different from sex cells?

Do body cells have less chromosomes than sex cells?

No, somatic (non-sex) cells have twice the number of chromosomes that sex cells have.


How does the number of chromosomes in sex cells compared with the number of chromosomes in body cells?

Sex cells have 23 chromosomes compared to the body cells' 46 chromosomes. This is because a child is created from half the genome of its father and half the genome of its mother. In other words, 23 chromosomes in the mother's egg and 23 chromosomes in the father's sperm, when combined generate a child with 46 chromosomes in its body cells. However, sometimes mutations occur where more of fewer chromosomes are passed down, this will either result in no embryotic development or the embryo having some kind of syndrome.


How does the number of chromosomes in a person sex cells compared 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.
