In a healthy person with no genetic disorders, there will be double the number of chromosomes in a skin cell versus an egg cell. This is because a skin cell is a somatic (non-sex) cell and is diploid (2 sets of chromosomes - 1 from the mother and 1 from the father). An egg cell is a sex cell and is haploid (only contains 1 set of chromosomes - the mother). When combined with a sperm cell (the other set from the father), a zygote results which is now diploid (having one set from both parents).

How many chromosomes does an animal sperm have?

n/2 where n is the total number of chromosomes normally present in that animal.For example humans have 46 chromosomes in a somatic cell, and 23 chromosomes in a germ cell (sperm / egg).Different species often have different numbers of chromosomes. In fact different numbers of chromosomes are why a donkey and a horse can mate to produce a mule, but the mule cannot reproduce.

If there are 13 pairs of homologous chromosomes in the parental cell how many chromosomes are there in a sperm?

A sperm cell will have 23 chromosomes, half the number found in a somatic cell. So, if there are 13 pairs of homologous chromosomes in the parental cell, there would be 26 chromosomes in the parental cell, but the sperm cell would have 23 individual chromosomes.


How many chromosomes are in sex cell compared to regular cell?

How many chromosomes has a fox sperm cell?

A fox has a diploid number of 50, meaning that in every cell there are 50 chromosomes. Thus, the haploid sperm cell only has 25 chromosomes.


How many chromosomes are in a gibbon sperm cell?

A gibbon sperm cell typically contains 24 chromosomes, as gibbons have a diploid number of 48 chromosomes in their somatic cells. During fertilization, the sperm cell combines with an egg cell to form a new cell with the full complement of 48 chromosomes.
