What is the normal number of chromosomes in human body cells?
Each organism has a distinct number of chromosomes, in humans, every cell contains 46 chromosomes. Other organisms have different numbers, for instance, a dog has 78 chromosomes per cell. Somatic Cells - body cells, such as muscle, skin, blood ...etc. These cells contain a complete set of chromosomes (46 in humans) and are called DIPLOID. Sex Cells - also known as gametes. These cells contain half the number of chromosomes as body cells and are called HAPLOID Chromosomes come in pairs, called Homologous Pairs (or homologs). Imagine homologs as a matching set, but they are not exacly alike, like a pair of shoes. Diploid cells have 23 homologous pairs = total of 46 Haploid cells have 23 chromosomes (that are not paired) = total of 23
When gametes combine to form a zygote the chromosomes number of the zygote is now referred to as?
diploid is what the total number of chromosomes in an organism is
What are pairs of the same chromosomes called?
A pair of chromosomes is called a "chromosome pair."Generally, the two chromosomes in a pair are "homologous chromosomes."An individual form of a gene is called an "allele." (For example: if someone has genotype "Aa", they have two different alleles, "A" and "a")
What is the total number of chromosome in a human diploid cell?
If the somatic (normal) cell has 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 38. If the gametes (sperm and ovum/egg) have 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 76.
Which cell contains only a single set of chromosomes?
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.

What are haploid chromosomes?
haploid chromosomes are a set of chromosomes from one parent , half the total of diploid chromosomes.
How many chromosomes in human diploid zygote?
A normal human diploid zygote contains a full set of 46 chromosomes. A zygote refers to the initial cell that is formed when two gamete cells join together through sexual reproduction.
What is the organ system Meisosis accures in?
Reproductive system. Meiosis is the formation of gametes which unlike regular cells have 23 unpaired chromosomes compared to regular cells which have 23 paired chromosomes or 46 total chromosomes, in humans that is.
What is a cell with paired chromosomes called?
Somatic (diploid) cells have pairs of chromosomes. They have 46 chromosomes, making 23 pairs. All the cells in the human body are diploid cells, with the exception of the gametes (sperm and ova).Gametes are sex cells (eggs and sperm), they only have 23 chromosomes total. This is because they will combine with another gamete to form an embryo that will have 46.
What is the total number of chromosomes in a cell that contains chromosomes in homologous pairs?
44
What the number of chromosomes in the human cell?
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes and 46 total.
If the total number of chromosomes is six then after mitosis there will be?
42
If a cell has 46 chromosomes a the beginning of meiosis then at anaphase 2 there would be a total number of how many chromosomes?
92 chromosomes.
Do Body cells only have half the total number of chromosomes?
All body cells contain a total number of 46 chromosomes except sex cells (the egg and the sperm) which have half the number of chromosomes (23) no.... body cells or somatic cells have 46 chromosomes which is the diploid chromosome number of homo sapiens... gametes or sex cells have 23 chromosomes which is the haploid chromosome number...
