What kind of Gametes can father produce?
A female's gamete is called an egg cell (scientific name: ovum). It contains a random selection of the mother's alleles for each gene. During fertilisation, the egg cell and the male's gamete (the sperm cell) fuse, resulting in a complete set of genetic information, enabling the fertilised egg cell to develop into a baby.
A cell other than a gamete or germ cell body cell?
neurone
How does the chromosome content of a parent cell compare with that of a gamete?
The gamete will have 50% of the genetic material of the parent. This is then fused with the other parent's 50% to give the offspring the whole 100%.
How many chromsomes would the haploid cells contain if a diploid cell contains 16 chromosomes?
The diploid number of an organism is its full set of genetic information. A gamete only carries the haploid number because it only needs half the amount of information. This is because the gamete will join with a gamete from a different organism to produce a full set of genetic information, which is in the form of offspring. So the haploid number is always half of the diploid number. For your question, the chromosome number of each gamete will be its haploid number, 8.
Would a mutation be worse if it was in a gamete or in a regular body cell?
It would be worse in a gamete because it could be passed on to a child. Also, body cells usually eliminate a cell with a malfunction, but gametes do not.
In sexually reproducing species the number of chromosomes in each body cell remains the same from one generation to the next as a direct result of?
Meiosis cuts the genetic material in half. Each gamete contains half the necessary genetic information so when they combine during fertilization, the original body cell chromosome number is created.

Which best describes gamete?
A haploid cell
Will the baby have the characteristics of an egg cell or the body cell?
The body cell because in the diagram,the body cell gives the nucleus;which contains chromosomes (the genetic information).
A cell other than a gamete or germ cell body cell?
neurone
How all the cell of the body contain the same genetic information?
Because each cell gets a copy of this information as it is created by cell division of the mother cell.
What cell organelle is the warehouse for the cells genetic information?
The Nucleus for the cell's genetic information.
Is a gamete 2N or N?
A gamete is N (39 chromosomes in the cell) while a body cell is 2N (78 chromosomes; full set).
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome in the body cells of humans this extra chromosome occurs in the gamete as a result of?
an error in meiotic cell division
How Compared to a body cell a gamete contains?
The same amount
The chemical responsible for genetic information in a cell is?
The chemical responsible for genetic information in a cell is DNA
Does the human heart and lungs contain cells that have the same genetic information but perform different functions?
Yes. Every cell in your body contains the exact same genetic information, regardless of where that cell is found.
