What 2 functions are there of the skeleton?
support, protection of the human body and organisms , production of blood cells, storage of minerals.
How many chromosomes are in the human liver cell?
Any somatic cells in a diploid eukaryotic organism will have the diploid number (2n) of chromosomes. For humans that number is 46. To unpack that: humans are diploid organisms. That is, our cells contain two copies of every chromosome we have. One copy is inherited from our mothers, the other from our fathers. Because we have 23 pairs of chromosomes (n=23), the total number of chromosomes in a human cell is 46 (2n=46). For the most part it doesn't matter what kind of cell you're talking about in a human body - brain cell, fat cell, liver cell (more technically called hepatocytes) - they will all have the same 46 chromosomes in them. All cells in your body are genetically identical - they differ in which genes are turned on, not by which genes they possess. (N.B.: There are a few exceptions to this, notably red blood cells and germ line cells. Mature red blood cells have no nuclei and no chromosomes at all! And germ line cells - that is sperm, eggs, and their precursors - will have only 23 chromosomes. This permits a sperm cell with 23 chromsomes and an egg cell with 23 chromosomes to fuse to produce a proper human zygote with 46 chromosomes.)
How many chromosomes do human egg cells and sperm cells have?
There are 23 chromosomes in a human sperm or egg (ovum).Of these, 22 are autosomes, and there is one sex chromosome: either an X or a Y. So 23 is the human haploid number.
What does n and 2n means?
2N Refers to a diploid cell or organism, in which two copies of each gene are present. Cells before and after mitosis are 2N, or diploid. Cells before meiosis are 2n, and following meiosis are 1n, or haploid.
How many chromatids would you expect to find in human cells?
There are 46 chromosomes in each body cell, and there are 2 chromatids per chromosome, therefore there are 92 chromatids in each body cell.
How many copies of each chromosome are found in animal cells?
Animals cells are diploids, meaning they have 2 copies.
How many copies of each chromosome are found in most animal cells?
Animals cells are diploids, meaning they have 2 copies.

What is the ploidy of cells?
Human somatic cells are diploid, 2n. Human sex cells are haploid, n. Thus, the ploidy of human cells is 2, while n=23.
What comes after haploid cells in meiosis?
the process of meiosis is completed after 4 haploid cells are made. It starts with (i believe) 1 diploid cell that divides into 2 diploids, then it splits and makes 4 haploid cells. then another diploid cell is required to make more haploids (again, i believe)
How many chromosomes do human egg cells and sperm cells have?
There are 23 chromosomes in a human sperm or egg (ovum).Of these, 22 are autosomes, and there is one sex chromosome: either an X or a Y. So 23 is the human haploid number.
How many skin cells in the human body?
nobody really knows how many there are but there are probably more than 1 million
How much of a human body cell is composed up of water?
The amount of water contained in a cell will vary, depending on the type of cell and its intended function. Most human cells are about 60 to 80% water.
What does n and 2n means?
2N Refers to a diploid cell or organism, in which two copies of each gene are present. Cells before and after mitosis are 2N, or diploid. Cells before meiosis are 2n, and following meiosis are 1n, or haploid.

There are 46 chromosomes in each body cell, and there are 2 chromatids per chromosome, therefore there are 92 chromatids in each body cell.
The human cell contains more than one meter of DNA?
In one human cell, there are 2 metres of DNA. Which means that a human has about 200 trillion metres of DNA in their entire body. No... theres 3.6m of DNA per cell
