One can not find a chromosome ON a cell; however, one may find a chromosome inside the cell, specifically the nucleus (during interphase, but the chromosome is actually referred to chromatin in this state). If the cell is undergoing mitosis or meiosis, the chromosome may be found anywhere throughout the cell as the nucleus does not exist during periods of divisio.

∙ 15y agoIn eukaryotic cells (plants, animals, and fungi) most chromosomes are in the nucleus.
There are also small circular chromosomes in the mitochondria and chloroplasts.
In prokaryotic cells, there is usually only one chromosome, in the nucleoid region of the cytoplasm. The cholera bacterium has two chromosomes.

∙ 13y agoChromosomes can be found in cells. They are found in the nucleus (the control center) of most cells. They can also be found in the mitochondria (the power plant) of animal cells, and the chloroplasts (solar-power plant) of plant cells.
Red blood cells are a notable exception. As they have no nucleus and no mitochondria once fully developed, they contain no chromosomes!
Some forms of life (archaea and bacteria) do not have clearly-defined cell nuclei. An area (un-bounded by a membrane) called the nucleoid (ie- "nucleus-like"), is where the greatest concentration of genetic material can be found in these organisms.

Which cells have only 23 unpaired chromosomes?
The only place you would be able to find a cell with 23 chromosomes would be in the sex cells (sperm cells of egg cells). There are 46 chromosomes in the human body. This is because when a sperm cell fertilises the egg cell, both with 23 single chromosomes, they join to make 46.
All cells in the human body start with how many chromosomes?
In terms of chromosomal number, there are two types of cells in the human body.Autosomes, or body cells, have 46 chromosomes (the diploid number)Allosomes, or sex chromosomes, have 23 chromosomes (the haploid number)
Has how many chromosomes withn the egg cells?
All human gametes (sex cells), which means egg cells and sperm cells, have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilises the egg, the 23 chromosomes from the egg cell and the 23 chromosomes from the sperm cell join to make cells with 46 chromosomes. In summary, all cells in the human body have 46 chromosomes, except sperm cells and egg cells, which have 23.
How many chromosomes are there in each horses body cells?
It will depend on the animal - the number of chromosomes varies from species to species. Somatic cells are non-sex cells. This means that in sexually reproducing animals, somatic cells usually have 2 pairs of chromosomes (they are called diploid cells). Human somatic cells have 46 (23 pairs of) chromosomes. Cat somatic cells have 38 (19 pairs of) chromosomes. Dogs have 78 (39 pairs of) chromosomes.
The chromosomes of eukaryotic cells have more what than do the chromosomes of prokaryotic cells?
The chromosomes of eukaryotic cells have more DNA than the chromosomes of prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotes usually only have 1 circular chromosome and no "junk DNA", while eukaryotes are multi-chromosomal.
How many chromosomes would except to find in a sperm cell?
23 chromosomes in gamaete cells (sex cells)
What types of cells are seen in chromosomes?
Cells are not found in chromosomes. Chromosomes are found in cells.
Which cells have only 23 unpaired chromosomes?

Where genes and chromosomes are found in your body?
Answerchromosomes are found mostly in the nucleus of your cells and there is where you will find the chromosomes.
Chromosomes in animal cells?
Yes there are chromosomes in animal cells. There are also chromosomes in plant cells. :)
How many chromosomes does a triploid cell have?
You should find one half the number of chromosomes in sex cells (gametes) than in body cells.
What are chromosomes in?
chromosomes are in cells
What did Sutton observe about the relative numbers of chromosomes in the body cells and sex cells of grasshoppers?
body cells of a grasshopper has 24 chromosomes and 12 chromosomes in the sex cells so as many body cell chromosomes you have you will have half that number of chromosomes in your sex cells.
How do the number of chromosomes in a female scorpion's egg cells compare with the number in her body (somatic) cells?
There are 46 chromosomes in your body cells. The egg cells have half the amount of chromosomes as the body cells, so there are 23 chromosomes in the egg cells.
Wheat has 42 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are in their body cells?
The 'body' cells have 42 chromosomes. The sex cells would have 21 chromosomes. 3 X 7
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.
What cells would you find in a chromosome?
None. Chromosomes are found inside a cell.
