A mature sexual reproductive cell having a single set of unpaired chromosomes is a gamete. A haploid is an organism or cell having only one complete set of chromosomes.

How does sex cells differ from ordinary cells?

Sex cells, called gametes, are different to other cells in that they contain half the number of chromosomes. So in a human sex cell, there are 23 chromosomes, whereas a normal human cell has 46 chromosomes.


Sex cells differ from body cells in that they do not have?

Sex cells (sperm and egg) differ from body cells in that they do not have a full set of chromosomes. Sex cells are haploid, meaning they only have one set of chromosomes, while body cells are diploid, with two sets of chromosomes. This difference allows sex cells to combine during fertilization to create a genetically diverse offspring.


What are the sex chromosomes called that do not carry traits?

The sex chromosomes that do not carry traits are called the Y chromosome in males and the second X chromosome in females. These sex chromosomes primarily determine biological sex and are not directly involved in carrying most of the traits that are inherited.


How do the numbers of chromosomes in cells compare with the number of chromosomes in sex cells?

Cells typically have two sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent, while sex cells (sperm and egg cells) only have one set of chromosomes. This means that cells have a diploid number of chromosomes, while sex cells have a haploid number of chromosomes.


Cells that do not have pairs of chromosomes?

Gametes (sex celles) such as egg and sperm only contain one set of chromosomes this is is called a hapliod nucleus. when the 2 meet this forms a full pair of chromosomes and makes a dapliod nucleus.

Sperm and eggs are known as sex cells or sex chromosomes?

Sperm and eggs are known as sex cells or gametes. They each contain half the genetic information needed for reproduction and are responsible for transmitting genetic material from parents to offspring. Sex chromosomes refer specifically to the X and Y chromosomes that determine an individual's sex.

What chromosomes are found in body cells but not sex cells?

Sex cells (better known as gametes) being product of meiosis have single set (haploid number) of chromosomes whereas body cells have diploid number. Thus, 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XY), thus 46 chromosomes are present in our body cells. The gametes (sex cells) contain only 23 chromosomes in each.
