A gamete will only have one half of the number of chromosomes found in body cells because two gametes have to come together. This means that the two gametes have to have only half of the chromosomes.
What else can I help you with?
An organisms gametes have double the number of chromosomes found in the organisms body cells.?
No, a gamete has half the number of chromosomes as compared to the organisms body cells.
Why must gamete have only half the number of chromosomes found in a body cell?
A gamete will only have one half of the number of chromosomes found in body cells because two gametes have to come together. This means that the two gametes have to have only half of the chromosomes.
An organism that reproduces sexually has a diploid number of 30 How many chromosomes will a gamete of this organism have?
A gamete has half the diploid number of chromosomes, so in this case, the gamete would have 15 chromosomes.
Why are the number of chromosomes in egg sperm cells different from the number of chromosomes in other cells of the body?
well, for one they are haploid (n) whereas other cells in the body (somatic cells) are diploid (2n) this means that sperm cells (egg cells for females) only have half the amount of chromosomes as any other cell in the body
Is the number of gametes twice the number of chromosomes found in the body cells?
Gametes are cells, in humans they contain 23 chromosomes. Body Cells (Properly Called: Somatic Cells) in humans contain 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23). Some differences or problems can cause this number to change in specific humans, gametes, and somatic cells. Muscle cells may have hundreds of chromosomes, red blood cells have none.
What is the Number of chromosomes in a normal body gamete called?
Haploid (?)
What is the only cell in the body that dose not have 46 chromosomes?
the gamete cells/ sex cells have half the original amount of chromosomes as these combine with the gamete cells of the opposite sex to form a off spring with half chromosomes from mother and other half from father
How does the number of chromosomes in a zygote compare with the number of chromosomes in a body cell?
A zygote typically has a full set of chromosomes, with one set from each parent, so it has a diploid number of chromosomes. In contrast, body cells are also diploid, containing the same number of chromosomes as the zygote.
In what type of human cell is the chromosome number 23?
The chromosome number 23 is found in human sex cells, such as eggs (in females) and sperm (in males). These cells are known as haploid cells, containing half the normal number of chromosomes found in somatic cells.
All cells within an organism will have the same number of chromosomes except the gamete?
This is not entirely accurate. All cells in an organism carry the same number of chromosomes, except for gametes (sperm and egg cells) which are haploid and carry half the number of chromosomes as normal body cells (diploid).
What type of cell does meiosis make?
Meiosis produces gamete cells, such as sperm and egg cells, which are haploid cells with half the number of chromosomes as a normal body cell.
If the gamete of a fruit fly contains 4 chromosomes home many chromosomes would you find in a body cell of a fruit fly?
If a fruit fly gamete contains 4 chromosomes, then a body cell of a fruit fly would typically contain 8 chromosomes. This is because the gamete only contains half the number of chromosomes found in a normal body cell, following the principle of haploid and diploid states of cells in sexual reproduction.
