How many chromosomes are in a haploid gametes?

Haploid gametes have half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell, so in humans, there are 23 chromosomes in a haploid gamete.


If somatic cell has 30 chromosomes how many are in the gametes?

If a somatic cell has 30 chromosomes, then the gametes produced by that cell would contain 15 chromosomes. Gametes, like sperm and egg cells, are haploid cells containing half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells, which are diploid.


How do the number of chromosomes compare in gametes and somatic cells?

I will assume that you mean human cells. Somatic cells are diploid (2n), containing two sets of chromosomes, one of paternal, one of maternal origin. Gametes, on the other hand, are haploid (n), with a single set of chromosomes, ie. half as many as the somatic cell. Now, the haploid chromosome number (n) is characteristic of the species, and in humans this number happens to be 23. Therefore a human gamete has 23 chromosomes, and a human somatic cell 23 pairs, or 46 chromosomes.


How many chromosomes are there in uterus cells?

There are 23 in both a sperm and egg cell. These unite to form a zygote, which has 46 chromosomes.


How many homologous chromosomes do you have in your gametes?

Number of Homologous Chromosomes in GametesGametes contain 23 paired chromosomes. Gametes are haploid because they are sex cells to be combined with other haploid sex cells of the opposite gender to form the required 46 chromosomes that form a zygote (a future child), which is diploid.

How many pairs of chromosomes found in a gametes?

In human gametes, chromosomes are not paired. Instead, each gamete has one set of 23 chromosomes, and is said to be haploid.


Why is the haploid condition desirable in gametes?

The haploid condition is desirable in gametes because two haploid cells come together to make one full cell. If the gametes were not haploid then the organism would have too many chromosomes.

How many choromosomes are in a human gamete?

Gametes are haploid cells, this means that they contain half the amount of chromosomes that a somatic cell contains. A normal somatic cell contains 46 chromosomes, while a haploid cell contains 23.


How many chromosomes are in a normal human diploid cell?

every human have 46 chromosomes haploid(23)+haploid(23)=46 chromosomes

How many pairs of chromosomes does a human body haploid sex cell have?

They do not have pairs since they are haploid. They have 23 single chromosomes.
