Sex cells
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
There are 46 chromosomes in a human body cell.
Reproductive cells have half the number of chromosomes as body cells, so if a body cell has 22 chromosomes, then the reproductive cells (sperm or egg) would have 11 chromosomes. This is because during sexual reproduction, the sperm and egg combine to form a new cell with the full number of chromosomes.
gametes
Cell that has half the number of chromosomes as 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
Sex cells contain half the number of chromosomes that body cells contain.
From a single cell after fertilization. You have the cell division by mitosis. At the time of birth, you have 100 trillion cells in your body. out of which you have 25 trillion cells are red blood cells. they do not have nucleus in them. Rest of the body cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
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.
The 'body' cells have 42 chromosomes. The sex cells would have 21 chromosomes. 3 X 7
A zygote typically has a full set of chromosomes, with one set from each parent, so it has a diploid number of chromosomes. In contrast, body cells are also diploid, containing the same number of chromosomes as the zygote.
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.
