When a cell such as an egg or sperm only contains one copy of each pair of chromosomes from the parent cell you call this chromosome number?
haploid.
When a cell contains 1 set of chromosomes what is it called?
Gametes are reproductive cells produced by a type of cell division called meiosis. They contain only one set of chromosomes and are said to be haploid.
When a cell contains one sets of chromosomes it is said to be?
A haploid
How many homologous chromosomes in a haploid organism?
There are no homologous chromosomes in a haploid cell, as a haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes. One member of each pair of homologous chromosomes comes from one set, and the other member comes from the second set, so homologous chromosomes only exist in diploid cells.
Is a cell from fertilization a haploid or a diploid cell?
A diploid cell is involved in sexual reproduction. It contains a full set of chromosomes, half of them from a male and half from a female gamete. A single haploid cell contains only one set of chromosomes and undergoes mitosis during asexual reproduction, producing genetically identical offspring.
When a cell contains one set of chromosomes?
it is haploid
When a cell such as an egg or sperm only contains one copy of each pair of chromosomes from the parent cell you call this chromosome number?
haploid.
What is the chromosomes in the new cell after sexual reproduction?
After fertilization, the new cell contains one set of chromosomes from each parent.
When a cell contains 1 set of chromosomes what is it called?
Gametes are reproductive cells produced by a type of cell division called meiosis. They contain only one set of chromosomes and are said to be haploid.
When a cell contains one sets of chromosomes it is said to be?
A haploid
What is a diploid cell and a haploid cell?
your mom and i
What type of cell contains two sets of chromosomes one from the mother and one from the father?
sex cell gamete
What is a cell that contains both sets of a Homologous chromosomes?
A cell containing both sets of homologous chromosomes is called a diploid. One is usually taken from the mother and one from the father.
Why is the cell called a diploid cell?
Unlike the haploid cell which consists of one chromosome, the somatic (diploid) cell contains two chromosomes (one from the mother and one from the father)
Sex cells called have only one set of chromosomes?
A mature sexual reproductive cell having a single set of unpaired chromosomes is a gamete. A haploid is an organism or cell having only one complete set of chromosomes.
How many homologous chromosomes in a haploid organism?
There are no homologous chromosomes in a haploid cell, as a haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes. One member of each pair of homologous chromosomes comes from one set, and the other member comes from the second set, so homologous chromosomes only exist in diploid cells.
How many chromosomes are there when a human egg and sperm fuse?
That depends on the species. In the case of humans, egg and sperm cells have half of the chromosomes of a regular cell - 23 chromosomes each. When they join, the resulting cell will have the complete 46 chromosomes.
