Compare the number of chromosomes in a human skin cell to the number of chromosomes in a human egg cell?

yes it has 23 cells.


How many chromosomes are in a daughter cell After mitosis in a human cell?

Mitosis always yields the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In humans, 23.


How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?

It depends on the type of cell division. In mitosis, 2 daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell are created. In a human, this would be 46 chromosomes. In meiosis, 4 daughter cell with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell are created. In a human, this would be 23 chromosomes.


What is the number of chromosomes found in cells?

There are 46 chromosomes in a human body cell.


How many chromosome are in a egg?

Eggs and sperms are gametes. They are haploid. Haploid means that they have half the regular number of chromosomes. This works really well because an egg and a sperm join together to begin a new organism which will then have the entire diploid number of chromosomes. A human body cell would have 46 chromosomes. Since a human egg cell is a reproductive cell (sex cell), it would contain only half the number of chromosomes as a body cell. Thus, a human egg cell would have 23 chromosomes. A sex cell has half the number of chromosomes for a good reason. When two sex cells reproduce, they combine to form double the number of chromosomes. So when two cells with 23 chromosomes each reproduce, the offspring would have 46 chromosomes. To keep humans at 46 chromosomes per cell, sex cells are produced through meiosis, which is a process that creates cells with half the number of chromosomes.


How many chromosomes are in a human egg or sprem cell the haploid number?

There are 23 chromosomes in a human egg or sperm cell, which is the haploid number. During fertilization, when the egg and sperm combine, they form a zygote with the full complement of 46 chromosomes, known as the diploid number.


How many chromosomes are seen in the human sperm cell but not in a human blood cell?

The human sperm cell has 23 chromosomes. White blood cells have 46 chromosomes. Mature red blood cells to not contain a nucleus, and therefore has no chromosomes. Platelets are cell fragments and also do not contain nuclei.


How many chromosomes are in a mature somatic cell?

The number of chromosomes in a mature somatic cell depends on the species, but it is the diploid number (2X). In a human somatic cell, that number is 46.


If a human liver cell divides by meiosis how many chromosomes do the new cell have?

If a human liver cell divides by meiosis, the new cells would each have the normal number of chromosomes for a human cell, which is 46 chromosomes. Meiosis is the process of cell division that results in halving the chromosome number to produce gametes (sperm and eggs) with 23 chromosomes each.


What does the number of chromosomes in a human body cell equal?

46


How many chromosomes are in a human gamate?

A human gamete has 23 chromosomes. This is half the number of chromosomes found in a regular human cell, which has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).


What is the total number of chromosome in a human diploid cell?

If the somatic (normal) cell has 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 38. If the gametes (sperm and ovum/egg) have 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 76.
