the variable that is deliberately changed
The number of chromosomes in a gamete is represented by "n". This symbol represents the haploid number of chromosomes in a cell, which is half the number of chromosomes found in a diploid cell.
There are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete
A zygote has twice the amount of chromosomes as a gamete.
Human gametes have 23 chromosomes. (In cases of abnormality there may be a different number of chromosomes in a gamete).
A gamete has half the number of chromosomes of the somatic (diploid) cell. Therefore a zebra gamete would have 25 chromosomes if 50 is the diploid number.
A Drosophila gamete has 4 chromosomes. Drosophila, also known as fruit flies, have a diploid number of 8 chromosomes in their somatic cells, which means each gamete will have half of that number.
A gamete of Drosophila has 2n chromosomes, which is the haploid number. Drosophila, like most organisms, has a diploid number of chromosomes in its somatic cells. During meiosis, gametes are produced with half the number of chromosomes to maintain the chromosome number in the species.
It varies from organism to organism. Humans have 23 chromosomes in a haploid (gamate) cell.
The haploid number is the number of chromosomes in a gamete.
Haploid (?)
D. Be produced by meiosis
Gametes carry half the number of normal chromosomes as a body cell. Since there are normally 46, this means there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete.
