What sex chromosomes are contained in a female body cell?
Female cells contain the sex chromosomes XX. A female gamete (ovum/egg) contains one X chromosome.
Human body cells have 23 pairs of?
Chromosomes (autosomes), not including the sex chromosomes (XY - male, or XX - female).
How do autosomes differ from sex cells?
Autosomal Chromosome are your body cells(i.e Skin cells) while Sex Chromosomes are your Sperm Cells and Egg Cells or "Gamete(s)"
What produces cells that have half normal number of chromosomes found in body cells?
Meiosis, the division of sex cells, produces cells with half the number of chromosomes found in body cells. This is for a very simple reason - when a male sex cell and a female sex cell combine, they form one cell with the full number of chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in their sex cells?
Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell, and are said to be haploid. In human sex cells there are 23 chromosomes.
What sex chromosomes are contained in a female body cell?
Female cells contain the sex chromosomes XX. A female gamete (ovum/egg) contains one X chromosome.
Which include the male and female sex cells gametes chromosomes eukaryotes diploids?
Your question is not really clear, but male and female sex cells are called "gametes".
Human body cells have 23 pairs of?
Chromosomes (autosomes), not including the sex chromosomes (XY - male, or XX - female).
How many chromosomes are there in sex cells and why?
22 pair of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. A male determines the sex with XY chromosomes and the female only has YY. 23; half of the normal 46 for a cell. This is so when the male and female cells meet, they will form a normal 46-chromosome cell.
How do autosomes differ from sex cells?
Autosomal Chromosome are your body cells(i.e Skin cells) while Sex Chromosomes are your Sperm Cells and Egg Cells or "Gamete(s)"
How are body cells different from sex cells?
Cause body cells have twice the chromosomes a sex cell has Body cells have 46 chromosomes and sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
Do all cells in your body have 23pair of chromosomes?
No. The sex cells have only one set of 23 chromosomes.
Do males start out female?
No. Biological sex is coded in the sex chromosomes of the sperm and egg cells that come together to make a person. From the moment of conception, sex is determined by these chromosomes.
What produces cells that have half normal number of chromosomes found in body cells?
Meiosis, the division of sex cells, produces cells with half the number of chromosomes found in body cells. This is for a very simple reason - when a male sex cell and a female sex cell combine, they form one cell with the full number of chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in their sex cells?
Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell, and are said to be haploid. In human sex cells there are 23 chromosomes.
What shows chromosomes present in a cell?
A karyotype is a picture of all the chromosomes in a person's cells. A human has 46 chromosomes in all but 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.
