In human, somatic cells are the cells that make up the body parts of an individual, other than the germ cells. They contain 46 chromosomes organized into 23 pairs.

How many chromosomes have non somatic cell?

Non-somatic cells, such as germ cells (sperm and egg cells), have half the number of chromosomes compared to somatic cells. In humans, somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, while germ cells have 23 chromosomes.


How do the number of chromosomes compare in gametes and somatic cells?

I will assume that you mean human cells. Somatic cells are diploid (2n), containing two sets of chromosomes, one of paternal, one of maternal origin. Gametes, on the other hand, are haploid (n), with a single set of chromosomes, ie. half as many as the somatic cell. Now, the haploid chromosome number (n) is characteristic of the species, and in humans this number happens to be 23. Therefore a human gamete has 23 chromosomes, and a human somatic cell 23 pairs, or 46 chromosomes.


How many chromosomes do human somatic cells have?

Human somatic cells typically have 46 chromosomes.


If somatic cell has 30 chromosomes how many are in the gametes?

If a somatic cell has 30 chromosomes, then the gametes produced by that cell would contain 15 chromosomes. Gametes, like sperm and egg cells, are haploid cells containing half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells, which are diploid.


Where are the human cells with 46 chromosomes found?

In humans, the diploid number (or 2n) is 46. Somatic cells contain 2n number of chromosomes. Somatic cells are those that make up the body. Every cells that makes up every organ contains 2n number of chromosomes. Gametes (or sex cells) contain haploid (n) number of chromosomes

How many chromosomes does a chicken have in somatic cells?

A chicken has 78 chromosomes in its somatic cells.


How many chromosome pairs do horses have in their somatic cells?

The diploid number of chromosomes in a horse's cell is 64, therefore they have 32 pairs of chromosomes in their somatic cells.


If a animal has 40 chromosomes in its skin cells how may will never in its kidney?

If an animal has 40 chromosomes in its skin cells, it will also have 40 chromosomes in its kidney cells. This is because all somatic cells in an organism typically have the same number of chromosomes, which is characteristic of that species. The number remains consistent across different types of cells, including skin and kidney cells.


How many chromosomes do human somatic cells have?

Human somatic cells typically have 46 chromosomes.


Are adult cells and somatic cells the same?

Adult cells could refer to any cell in the adult body. Somatic cells however, are body cells (cells that have diploid number of chromosomes), different from germ cells (containing haploid number of chromosomes)


What is a diploid number?

A diploid number refers to the number of chromosomes in a cell that exists as pairs (two sets of chromosomes). In humans, the diploid number is 46, with 23 pairs of chromosomes. This number is characteristic of somatic cells and is double the haploid number found in gametes.


If somatic cell has 30 chromosomes how many are in the gametes?

If a somatic cell has 30 chromosomes, then the gametes produced by that cell would contain 15 chromosomes. Gametes, like sperm and egg cells, are haploid cells containing half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells, which are diploid.


Do body cells have less chromosomes than sex cells?

No, somatic (non-sex) cells have twice the number of chromosomes that sex cells have.
