A somatic cell that does not contain a multiple of 23 chromosomes is called?
A somatic cell that does not contain a multiple of 23 chromosomes is typically referred to as aneuploid. This means it has an abnormal number of chromosomes, which can lead to genetic disorders or abnormalities in development.
What is euploidy?
Euploidy is a condition where an organism has an exact multiple of the haploid chromosome number. This means that instead of having the usual pairs of chromosomes, the organism has complete sets of chromosomes. Euploidy can result in organisms with increased genetic stability and compatibility.
Egg and sperm cells are Haploid of Deploid?
Ploidy is the number of complete sets of chromosomes in a biological cell. In humans, the somatic cells that compose the body are diploid (containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one set derived from each parent), but sex cells (sperm and egg) are haploid. In contrast, tetraploidy (four sets of chromosomes) is a type of polyploidy and is common in plants, and not uncommon in amphibians, reptiles, and various species of insects. The number of chromosomes in a single non-homologous set is called the monoploid number (x). The haploid number (n) is the number of chromosomes in a gamete of an individual. Both of these numbers apply to every cell of a given organism. For humans, x = n = 23; a diploid human cell contains 46 chromosomes: 2 complete haploid sets, or 23 homologous chromosome pairs. In some species (especially plants), x and n differ, for example common wheat is an allopolyploid with six sets of chromosomes, two sets coming originally from each of three different species, with six sets of chromosomes in most cells and three sets of chromosomes in the gametes. The Australian bulldog ant, Myrmecia pilosula, a haplodiploid species has n = 1, the lowest known (and lowest theoretically possible) n. Euploidy is the state of a cell or organism having an integral multiple of the monoploid number, possibly excluding the sex-determining chromosomes. For example, a human cell has 46 chromosomes, which is an integer multiple of the monoploid number, 23. A human with abnormal, but integral, multiples of this full set (e.g. 69 chromosomes) would also be considered as euploid. Aneuploidy is the state of not having euploidy. In humans, examples include having a single extra chromosome (such as Down syndrome), or missing a chromosome (such as Turner syndrome). Aneuploidy is not normally considered -ploidy but -somy, such as trisomy or monosomy.Diploid (indicated by 2n) cells have two homologous copies of each chromosome, usually one from the mother and one from the father. The exact number of chromosomes may be one or two different from the 2 number yet the cell may still be classified as diploid (although with aneuploidy). Nearly all mammals are diploid organisms (the viscacha rats Pipanacoctomys aureus and Tympanoctomys barrerae are the only known exceptions as of 2004[verification needed]), although all individuals have some small fraction of cells that display polyploidy. Human diploid cells have 46 chromosomes and human haploid gametes (egg and sperm) have 23 chromosomes.
What is the difference between aneuploid organisms and euploid organisms?
Euploid organisms have a chromosome number that is an exact multiple of the haploid number (Euploid organisms may however, exhibit either an increase or a decrease in the chromosome number). Aneuploid organisms however, have altered genomes - they either lack chromosomes or have extra ones.
What is the term for having two chromosomes of each pair- Normal body cells?
Diploid is the term for cells that contain two chromosomes of each pair. Euploid is a term meaning normal body cells.
