How many gametes do humans contain?
A human gamete has 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome. However, special cases may arise due to aneuploidy which can result in two copies of an autosome, e.g. chromosome 21, 18, etc. or the non-disjunction of sex chromosomes, X and/or Y.
How meiosis maintain a constant number of chromosome within a species?
Meiosis creates gametes (sperm and ova/eggs) which are involved in sexual reproduction. The result of meiosis is cells with half the number of chromosomes as a somatic (non-sex) cell. This ensures that when the gametes join during sexual reproduction, the resulting organism has the correct number of chromosomes (half from each gamete). Thus meiosis maintains the chromosome number.
How many chromatids in 1 chromosomes before interphase?
There are two chromatids in each chromosome before interphase, as each chromosome replicates during the S phase of the cell cycle to form sister chromatids that are connected at the centromere.
How many rounds of chromosome replication occur in the cell?
One round of chromosome replication occurs in the cell during the S phase of the cell cycle. This results in each chromosome being duplicated, producing two identical DNA molecules called sister chromatids that are connected at the centromere.
When does the chromosome number double?
The chromosome number only doubles when two haploid gametes form to produce a diploid zygote. Example: In humans, sperm cells and eggs have 23 chromosomes, the haploid number. Once they fuse, the number doubles to 46 chromosomes. You may be confusing this with chromosome replication. In chromosome replication, the number of chromosomes does not double, but the number of strands double. (A single stranded chromosome turns into a double stranded chromosome.) However, it is still considered a single chromosome, but with identical sister chromatids. This replication occurs during the S-phase of the cell cycle, before mitosis or meiosis.
How many chromatids does each chromosome have before S-phase?
There are two chromatids for each chromosome before the S-phase. The S-phase is wherein DNA of each chromosome is replicated.
How many chromosome s do humans have?
23
Do you agree or disagree that homologous chromosomes are found in gametes?
Have to say Nay. Two chromosomes are 'homologous' , to my understanding, only if each is IDENTICAL with the other - this means a pair. Gametes are haploid, meaning that only one copy of each (normally diploid or paired) chromosome (s) is (are) present.

When is s phase complet?
S phase is complete when each chromosome has been duplicated.

Does chromosome replication occur in mitosis and meiosis?
Chromosome replication occurs before both mitosis and meiosis. During the S phase of the cell cycle, DNA is replicated in preparation for cell division. In mitosis, replicated chromosomes are separated into two identical daughter cells, while in meiosis, replicated chromosomes are separated twice to produce haploid gametes.
How many chromosomes s in the human body?
Every human being has 23 pairs of chromosome which translates into 46 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in a chicken' s gametes?
A chicken's gametes (sperm and egg) each contain 39 chromosomes, which is half of the chicken's total chromosomes (78). When fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote will have the full complement of 78 chromosomes.
How many chromosome 7 s are there in the human nucleus?
Two, one from each parent. Over 90,000 genes are found on each chromosome and are mostly responsible for protein productions.
When is DNA not tightly coiled into a chromosome?
S phase of Interphase
