Chromosomes are condensed DNA within a cell. Strands of DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid) are tightly wound around proteins called histones. These groups of clustered DNA and histones are compacted into a substance known as chromatin. The chromatin condenses into chromosomes. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes within each cell throughout the whole body. This is vital for survival of multicellular organisms as DNA holds the genetic code for the organism and also the information for certain proteins to be produced by the cell. In short, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes in every cell, and chromosomes are made up of DNA - the genetic code.

∙ 9y agoA complete set of chromosomes is known as a karyotype. Karyotypes are the number of chromosomes in an organism, and what they look like under a microscope.

Does mitosis produce a complete set of the chromosomes?
YES Mitosis is cell division, its job is to separate the cell and to do that it has to copy the chromosomes. everything including a complete set of chromosomes.
Do heart cells have a complete set of chromosomes and DNA?
The only cells that doesn't have a complete set of chromosomes are germ cells (also called sex cells, or gametes).
What cells have a complete set of chromosomes?
All human cells have a complete set of chromosomes. Every single human cell has the same genetic information, but each cell specializes in which information it uses specifically based on the function of the cell.
What is a gamete having more than one complete set of chromosomes?
Meiosis is a process of cell division that produces gametes in organisms that sexually reproduce. A gamete having more than one complete set of chromosomes cannot be produced by meiosis.
Which cell contains only a single set of chromosomes?
A single complete set of chromosomes is called a haploid set of chromosomes. It is generally represented by the letter N. In humans for example, there are a total of 46 chromosomes per somatic cell. Since there are two copies of each chromosome. the 2N number for human is 46 and N = 23.

In plants what is meant by saying that the cells of a sporophyte phase are dipliodor 2n?
it just means that the gamete has a complete set of chromosomes. haploid means that the gamete does not have a complete set of chromosomes and needs another haploid cell (typically this is sperm and egg) to fuze with it and create a zygote with a complete set of chromosomes.
Do Body cells contain pairs of chromosomes?
Yes. Because a haploid contains 23 chromosomes and in order for it to be a diploid it must have a complete set of chromosomes. Therefor a diploid would be a complete set of chromosomes.
What do you call a cell with complete set homologous chromosomes?
diploid
How many chromosomes are there in one set of chromosomes in lilium?
2n= 24 therefore one set consists of 12 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in one of your skin cells?
23.Human cells, except for sex cells (gametes), are diploid, which means they have one set of 23 chromosomes from Dad (paternal chromosomes) and one set from Mom (the maternal ones).
What is a picture showing the complete set of chromosomes is called?
Quite simply a chromosome map.
What symbols are used to represent the diploid and haploid chromosomes?
if 2N=Diploid which is two complete sets of chromosomes the at one complete set is haploid that means its 1n or just n= haploid
If you compare the parent cell to the daughter in mitosis what can be said about their chromosomes?
the daughter cells' chromosomes are a identical to the parent cell. they each have a complete set
How many chromosomes are there in one full set of chromosomes in the grey wolf?
39
What cells have a complete set of chromosomes?
