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.


Cells that contain half the usual number of chromosomes are?

haploid cells, which are produced through a process called meiosis. Haploid cells have a single set of chromosomes and are typically found in gametes (sperm and egg cells) in sexually reproducing organisms. When two haploid cells combine during fertilization, they form a diploid zygote with the full complement of chromosomes.


Sex cells called have only one set of chromosomes?

Sex cells called gametes have only one set of chromosomes, containing half the number of chromosomes found in other body cells. This allows for the fusion of two gametes during fertilization to create a new individual with a complete set of 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 cells have a complete set of chromosomes?

Diploid cells have a complete set of chromosomes, which means they have two sets of chromosomes - one set inherited from each parent. Diploid cells are found in most cells of the human body, except for gametes (sperm and egg cells) which are haploid and contain only one set of chromosomes.

What is the meaning of a haploid?

Cells with a full set of chromosomes are Diploids. Cells that contain unpaired chromosomes contain half the set of chromosomes and are called Haploids. Gametes are reproductive cells (sperm and eggs) that are haploids which are produced by the process meiosis.


How many chromosones does egg cells have?

Egg cells (also called ova) typically have 23 chromosomes, which is half the number of chromosomes found in other body cells. During fertilization, the egg cell combines with a sperm cell, resulting in a zygote with a full set of 46 chromosomes.

What is a somatic cells?

Somatic cells are cells in the body other than egg, sperm, or pollen. They have a full set of DNA. For humans there are 23 pairs of chromosomes for a total of 46 chromosomes.


What is a cell with pairs of chromosomes called and a cell with no pairs of chromosomes?

A cell with pairs of chromosomes is called a diploid cell, while a cell with no pairs of chromosomes is called a haploid cell. Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, while haploid cells have only one set of chromosomes.


What type of cells contain only one set of chromosomes instead of two?

Gametes, also called sex cells, or sperm and egg cells, contain only one set of chromosomes.
