A species that contains two copies of each chromosome is called?
A species that contains two copies of each chromosome is called diploid. Each pair of chromosomes, one from each parent, make up a diploid set in the organism.
A somatic cell having two of each type of chromosome has chromosome number?
A somatic cell with two of each type of chromosome has a diploid chromosome number. This means that the cell has a complete set of chromosomes, one from each parent.
In a chromosome pair connected by a centromere what is each individual chromosome called?
chromatid

How does the alternation of meiosis and fertilization in the life cycles of sexually reproducing organisms maintain the normal chromosome count for each species?
Simple, Meiosis reduce the chromosome number in half while fertilization doubles the chromosome number. n=chromosome number Meiosis = 2n (primordial germ cells) ----> n (sperm cell/egg cell/polar bodies) Fertilization = sperm (n) + egg (n) ----> 2n (zygote)

Diploid means what?
Diploid: adj. 1 Double or twofold. 2 Having a homologous pair of chromosomes for each characteristic except sex, the total number of chromosomes being twice that of a gamete.-n 1. a diploid cell. 2. An individual characterized by a diploid chromosome number.It has two copies of each chromosome.
How does meiosis help the chromosome number of a species remain constant?
Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing gametes (sperm and eggs) with a haploid set of chromosomes. When fertilization occurs, these gametes combine to restore the diploid chromosome number in the resulting zygote. This process ensures that each generation maintains the species' characteristic chromosome number, preventing any increase or decrease in genetic material over successive generations. Thus, meiosis plays a crucial role in preserving genetic stability within a species.
At leaste some members of each species must carry out this life characteristic if the species is to survive?
Depends on species.
In a chromosome pair connected by a centromere what is each individual chromosome called?
chromatid
Are cells having two of each chromosome haploid cells?
yes good job
What is the haploid of chrosmoes in horse?
The haploid number of chromosomes in horses is 32. This means that horses have a total of 64 chromosomes in their diploid state, with each parent contributing one set of 32 chromosomes. This chromosome number is characteristic of the species Equus caballus.

If a species has a homologous chromosome?
If a species has homologous chromosomes, it means that each chromosome in a pair has a corresponding partner with similar structure and gene content. One chromosome of each pair is inherited from the mother and the other from the father. These homologous chromosomes may carry different alleles for certain genes, which can contribute to genetic variation within the species. This arrangement is essential for processes like meiosis, where homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic information.
Why is each chromosome a double?
There are 2 of each chromosome because you get 1 set from each parent.
In plants and animals an offspring inherits How Many genes?
The number of genes and number of chromosomes inherited depend on the species. The number of chromosomes a species has is known as the chromosome number. For example, (disregarding polyploidy or polysomy) a human baby has 46 chromosomes, but a horse has 64. Chromosomes usually occur as one of a pair in humans, and so they have 23 pairs of chromosomes. However, it is common in plants to have many sets of chromosomes and so they do not occur in pairs, but in triplets, or as sets of 4, 5 or 6 etc. Some species of strawberries have 7 of each chromosome. The number of genes depends on how long the chromosome is, and each chromosome in each different species will have a different number of genes on the chromosome.
