Twice the number in the cell. So if the cell normally has 46 chromosomes, such as in somatic human cells, the dividing cell would have 92 chromosomes just before division. With germ cells such as sperm and egg this would be half that. Sperm and egg cells in humans would contain 23 chromosomes and 46 just before division.
With N representing the number of chromosomes in an organism:
Mitosis (somatic cells) 2N -> 4N division -> 2N
Skin cells divide via mitosis - therefore the new cells will have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. Therefore in humans, the new skin cells will have 46 chromosomes.
Each daughter cell produced by mitosis will have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Therefore, each daughter cell will also have 60 chromosomes.
The average person has 46 chromosomes in their cells.
how many chromosomes can be found in each of the leksak birds cells
Human somatic cells typically have 46 chromosomes.
They copy their chromosomes so that when they do divide into two different cells each one will have its own set of chromosomes and it couldn't be copied and transferred after divison occured
Skin cells divide via mitosis - therefore the new cells will have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. Therefore in humans, the new skin cells will have 46 chromosomes.
Each daughter cell produced by mitosis will have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Therefore, each daughter cell will also have 60 chromosomes.
All human cells have 46 chromosomes, 23 pairs. In sexual reproduction, if an egg and a sperm each with 46 chromosomes joined then the zygote would have 92 chromosomes. To keep this from happening, cells undergo meiosis. In meiosis the cells replicate the chromosomes and divide then divide again so they end up with only 23 chromosomes. Cells with half the number of chromosomes are called gametes.
Somatic mosquito cells have 6 chromosomes
46.In humans, the only cells that divide by mitosis are ones with two sets of chromosomes, called diploid cells. They have 46 chromosomes, and the daughter-cells have 46 as well, because mitosis preserves the chromosome number.
Plants are higher level eukaryotic organisms and therefore contain chromosomes.
23 chromosomes
A chicken has 78 chromosomes in its somatic cells.
Jellyfish typically have 36 chromosomes in their cells.
The average person has 46 chromosomes in their cells.
It is mitosis - when the chromosomes within the cell divide and split forming two cells.
