When sex cells combine to produce offspring each sex cell will contribute how many chromosomes in body cells?

Each will contribute the diploid number 23 so the resulting zygote will ahve the full 46 necessary chromosomes.This assumes you are discussing humans.

For two organisms to be members of the same species what must be true of the offspring?
The offspring must be able to produce young.
What combinations of sex chromosomes produces a female?
It is the father's contribution that determines the sex of the offspring. Of the XX and XY pairs that determine sex, the mother always contributes an X. If the father contributes an X as well, the offspring is female. If the father contributes a Y, the offspring is male.
Why do organisms that produce sexually not have genetically identical offspring?
Unlike asexual reproduction, two different cells are needed, that are haploid cells, for sexual reproduction. These haploid cells are gametes, and allow half of the maternal cell and half of the paternal cell to combine and produce a unique offspring. This combination also allows crossing over to occur and produce even more of a variation from the parents.
How many chromosomes are in each daughter cell compared to the original cell?
Mitosis is asexual reproduction, which means it will produce an identical copy after mitosis - meaning the same number of chromosomes, the same DNA, etc..
If 2 haploid in a somatic cell combine together to produce a diploid how many?
23x2=46 A human somatic cell contains 46 chromosomes
When sex cells combine to produce offspring each sex cell will contribute how many chromosomes?

Can a moose and a cow produce offspring?
No, they cannot because their chromosomes are different.
Why cant mitosis provide for the sexual reproduction of offspring that contain the same number of chromosomes as the parents?
Meiosis works to produce gametes, not mitosis.
When sex cells randomly combine during fertilization to produce offspring there is?
increase genetic diversity
What is an indicator that two similar organisms are different species?
If their karotypes (number of chromosomes) don't match or if they are bred and fail to produce offspring or the offspring are infertile.
How do snails change their sex?
Sexual reproduction allows the organisms to combine DNA and produce offspring that may have better survival traits than either one of the parents. Even if an organism has both male and female organs, it is better for future offspring to combine these traits and try to produce a superior organism instead of just copying the DNA that is already there.
What is a fruit Hibrid?
I'm not sure what a fruit hybrid is but a hybrid is something that is an offspring of two different animals ,normally. This offspring cannot produce young as it has an odd number of chromosomes. Such as a mule a cross between a horse and a donkey.x
Can a chihuahua and a kitten have babies together if they mate?
No! Chihuahuas are dogs and kittens are baby cats -and ne'er the twain shall meet! In English: No, a canine and a feline cannot have offspring together because they have different chromosomes and a different number of chromosomes. It's similar to how a human and a dog cannot produce offspring. On the other hand, a horse and a donkey can have offspring as their genes are similar enough, creating a mule.
