it depends on what the cell started out as
if its normal number is monoploid, meaning that it has a full set of chromosomes, but only one of each then a double set would be diploid.
eukaryotes typically are diploid, but our sex cells are haploid
prokaryotes typically have have monoploid numbers.
so we have 23 PAIRS of chromosomes but 46 total and just 23 in our sex cells.
so we will start with an example
if you cell originally had 5 chromosome it is monoploid double that .. diploid with 10 chromosomes 2 of each ,,,,double diploid would be tetraploid with 20 chromosomes 4 of each.
HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you are talking about a cell which has an extra copy of a SINGLE chromosome then it is a different story
if the cell is eukaryotic and it has a diploid number then it would be called a trisomic
ex if a human had an extra chromosome he would have 47 chromosomes and would be a trisomic
The number of chromosomes in a female egg cell is 23. This is half the number of chromosomes found in a normal cell, as during fertilization, the egg cell will combine with a sperm cell which also carries 23 chromosomes to form a complete set of 46 chromosomes in the resulting embryo.
No, each egg and sperm cell contain half the number of chromosomes found in a normal body cell, which is 23. When an egg and a sperm cell combine during fertilization, they create a new cell with the full set of 46 chromosomes.
During meiosis, a cell with half the normal number of chromosomes (haploid) is generated to eventually form gametes (sperm or egg). When two haploid gametes fuse during fertilization, they restore the full set of chromosomes (diploid) in the zygote. This zygote then undergoes mitotic cell divisions to produce cells with the normal number of chromosomes.
In a healthy person with no genetic disorders, there will be double the number of chromosomes in a skin cell versus an egg cell. This is because a skin cell is a somatic (non-sex) cell and is diploid (2 sets of chromosomes - 1 from the mother and 1 from the father). An egg cell is a sex cell and is haploid (only contains 1 set of chromosomes - the mother). When combined with a sperm cell (the other set from the father), a zygote results which is now diploid (having one set from both parents).
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.
A human cell normally has 46 chromosomes, with 23 pairs - one set of chromosomes inherited from the mother and one set from the father.
In a body cell, there are two sets of chromosomes, which is the diploid condition. In a sex cell, there is one set of chromosomes, which is the haploid condition.
The number of chromosomes found in either and egg of sperm is half the number of chromosomes found in a normal cell of the organism. For example, if you are thinking of a human sperm or egg cell is would be 23 chromosomes, since the normal human cell has 46.
In humans there are 23 pairs, for a total of 46 chromosomes (the complete genome) in each body cell.
A zygote should have 46 chromosomes: 23 from the egg and 23 from the sperm. This will ensure that after fertilization, the baby's body cells will each have a normal set of 46 chromosomes.
The number of chromosomes in a female egg cell is 23. This is half the number of chromosomes found in a normal cell, as during fertilization, the egg cell will combine with a sperm cell which also carries 23 chromosomes to form a complete set of 46 chromosomes in the resulting embryo.
Aneuploidy refers to an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell, typically due to errors in cell division. The correct number of chromosomes in a species is known as euploidy, where cells have a normal set of chromosomes.
Chromosomes in the parent cell duplicate during the S phase of the cell cycle before they divide into daughter cells through mitosis or meiosis. Each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes from the parent cell.
Haloid cells
No, each egg and sperm cell contain half the number of chromosomes found in a normal body cell, which is 23. When an egg and a sperm cell combine during fertilization, they create a new cell with the full set of 46 chromosomes.
During meiosis, a cell with half the normal number of chromosomes (haploid) is generated to eventually form gametes (sperm or egg). When two haploid gametes fuse during fertilization, they restore the full set of chromosomes (diploid) in the zygote. This zygote then undergoes mitotic cell divisions to produce cells with the normal number of chromosomes.
A white blood cell generally contains 46 chromosomes, which is the normal number of chromosomes in a human cell. These chromosomes are arranged in 23 pairs, with one set of 23 chromosomes inherited from each parent.
