If the body cells of humans contain 46 chromosomes a single sperm cell should have?

Answer 1

A primary spermatocyte with 46 chromosomes will undergo meiosis and yield four spermatids with 23 chromosomes. A primary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis I two haploid secondary spermatocytes are produced.

Answer 2

Somatic (body) cells are diploids or 2n, and thus contain a full set a chromosomes, sperm cells are gametes (sex cells) and thus are diploids or n, and contain a half set of chromosomes or 23 chromosomes (assuming there are no mutations).

Answer 3

The result of meiosis is when a parent cell produces reproductive cells. For both female and males, the final number of chromosomes is half of the first one............... example: if an organism has 46 chromosomes, the end result is 23 chromosomes. Chromosomes from the male and female together make 46 chromosomes. These chromosomes pair up and start making the offspring's traits.

Answer 4

will produce 46 chromosomes in its daughter nuclei also

Answer 5

Meiosis produces cell with half the genetic material of the original cell. Therefore in this case the gametes would contain 23 chromosomes.

Answer 6

After meiosis, each cell should have 23 chromosomes

Answer 7

22 chromosomes. Sperm cells are haploid cells, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes as a normal body cell.
