In cell division and reproduction.
The total number of chromosomes in a cell with homologous pairs is twice the number of unique chromosomes. For humans, the total number of chromosomes in a cell with homologous pairs is 46.
Mitosis always yields the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In humans, 23.
A sex cell is haploid, having one set of chromosomes, which is half of the number of chromosomes as in a body cell.
the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell
The number of chromosomes in a female egg cell is 23. This is half the number of chromosomes found in a normal cell, as during fertilization, the egg cell will combine with a sperm cell which also carries 23 chromosomes to form a complete set of 46 chromosomes in the resulting embryo.
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.
No, meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes in the new cell to half of what was in the original cell. This is important for sexual reproduction to ensure the correct number of chromosomes in the offspring.
In mitotic cell division, the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In meiotic cell division, the daughter cells contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
It depends on the species--humans, for example, will have 46 chromosomes in each daughter cell after mitosis, while a dog will have 78. In mitosis, the number of chromosomes in each daughter cell is equal to the number of chromosomes in the interphase parent cell.
The chromosomes number is 8 in an onion root cell during interphase.
the number of chromosomes is double the numbe of chromosomes that were devided. so in other words the chromosomes double.
After meiosis, each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. For example, in humans the parent cell would have 46 chromosomes, but after meiotic cell division, the daughter cells will each have 23 chromosomes.
