That's a haploid cell. (Cells with the full set of chromosomes are called diploid.)
Some plants and micro-organisms go through stages in their life when their bodies are made of haploid cells, but in animals, the only haploid cells are gametes (sperm and egg cells). They're haploid so that when they fuse together at fertilisation the full diploid number of chromosomes will be restored.
Haploid cells are produced by a process called meiosis.
What else can I help you with?
What is the process called that guarantees that the number of chromosomes in gametes is half the number of chromosomes in body cells is?
Since gametes divide by a special process, meiosis, they will always have half the number of chromosomes as regular body cells. This is because the chromosomes only copy themselves once, however they are split apart twice. Think of it as a math problem. If the original cell count is, for example, 2 chromosomes, and each chromosome makes a copy of itself, the cell will have 4 chromosomes. During meiosis 1, the cell divides, and the chromosomes split, resulting in each daughter cell having 2 chromosomes, the same as the original. However, in meiosis 2, they divide again without making another copy of themselves, so that by the time meiosis is done, each one of the 4 cells that results have 1 chromosome, half the number of the original cell. 2x2=4 4/2=2 2/2=1
Meiosis makes what kind of cells?
Meiosis makes haploid cells that are different to each other and the parent cell. Meiosis is a type of cell division used for sexual reproduction and to create gametes.
What is the process of chromosomes dividing separating and duplicating is called?
The process of chromosomes dividing, separating, and duplicating is called mitosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent cell. It plays a crucial role in growth, development, and tissue repair in multicellular organisms.
What does mitosis make?
Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It is essential for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction in organisms.
What type of cell reproduction makes egg cells?
Egg cells are produced through a process called meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that halves the number of chromosomes in a cell, leading to the formation of haploid egg cells with half the genetic material of the parent cell.
The number of chromosomes in a sex cell of an organism is what kind of chromosome?
A sex cell is haploid, having one set of chromosomes, which is half of the number of chromosomes as in a body cell.
What kind of cell has half the number of chromosomes as body cells?
Sex cells
What are two basic ways that organisms reproduce?
Mitosis and Meiosis.Mitosis - Cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus; occurs in somatic (body) cells.Meiosis - Cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell; occurs in productions of gametes (sex cells).

What is a cell that has 2 of each kind of its chromosomes called?
A cell with 2 sets of chromosomes is known as a diploid cell.
What cell that has two kind of chromosomes are?
Diploit
What is mitosis How many new cells are formed and how many chromosomes are in each newly formed cell?
Mitosis is a kind of cell division, where a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells. Two cells are created during mitosis, but the original cell no longer exists so the total number will go up by one (or, if you're looking at multiple cells, the total number will double). The new cells have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell before it divided.
Meiosis makes what kind of cells?
Meiosis makes haploid cells that are different to each other and the parent cell. Meiosis is a type of cell division used for sexual reproduction and to create gametes.
Gametes have what kind of Chromosomes?
Gametes have haploid chromosomes, which means they have half the number of chromosomes of other cells in the body.
A cell that has two of every kind of chromosomes is?
diploid
A cell has how many chromosomes?
That depends on the specific kind of organism the cell comes from.
How does the number of chromosomes in sex cells compare with the number of chromosomes in the body?
Sex cells have 23 chromosomes compared to the body cells' 46 chromosomes. This is because a child is created from half the genome of its father and half the genome of its mother. In other words, 23 chromosomes in the mother's egg and 23 chromosomes in the father's sperm, when combined generate a child with 46 chromosomes in its body cells. However, sometimes mutations occur where more of fewer chromosomes are passed down, this will either result in no embryotic development or the embryo having some kind of syndrome.
