Exactly half of all chromosomes come from mother. The other half comes from father. This is true for ALL species that sexually reproduce.
Fruit flies, also known as Drosophila melanogaster, have 8 pairs of chromosomes, totaling 16 chromosomes. These chromosomes contain both genetic material and regulatory elements that control various biological processes in the fruit fly.
There are 50 chromosomes in both male and female pineapple pollen grain.
No, not all animals possess both X and Y chromosomes. In fact, many animals have different sex determination systems, such as the ZW system in birds and the haplodiploid system in insects.
Each parent donates 23 chromosomes to his/her child.....23 chromosomes from mother and 23 chromosomes from father makes a total of 46 chromosomes a healthy child.
Both normal human eggs and sperm contain 23 chromosomes, which is half of the total number of chromosomes found in other body cells. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, their combined 46 chromosomes create a new organism with a complete set of 46 chromosomes.
A mother and a father both give the child an even number from each, which would be 23 each.
The parents of a child who has Down syndrome each have the normal amount of chromosomes. The parents have 46, the child has 47.
A mother have 46 chromosomes and a father have 46 chromosomes when they come together in fertilization these chromosomes splits 23 from the mother (egg) and 23 from the father (sperms) and so forming the new zygote which is the baby with 46 chromosomes

The zygote would be diploid because the sex cell would have 46 chromosomes instead of 23 (2n instead of n) and the chromosomes would keep on multiplying in each generation. Ex: child would have 92 chromosomes and that child's child would have 184, etc-Anonymous Mamba
Red kangaroos have twenty chromosomes (ten pairs). Both species of grey kangaroo have sixteen chromosomes (eight pairs).
Both males and females have 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. In females, the sex chromosomes are two X chromosomes (XX), while in males, the sex chromosomes are one X and one Y chromosome (XY). Therefore, one pair of the sex chromosomes is common to both males and females.
22 and 1/2 chromosomes are common to both males and female. The one that contains the X and Y chromosomes makes the difference. If you have X and Y chromosomes, you are male. If you have two X chromosomes, you are female. So both the male and female have got that one X chromosome in common.
The leopard has twenty three pairs of chromosomes in its cell. This means that a leopard has forty six chromosomes.
There are 50 chromosomes in both male and female pineapple pollen grain.
