What might happen inf the gametes of a species has the same number of chromosomes as the species' body cells?

in human being's normal cells 46 chromosomes are found whereas in gametes half of the chromosomes,that is;23 are found if gametes will have same no. of chromosomes as in normal cells than in offspring (46+46=92)chromosomes will be found but it can't happen

∙ 12y agoIt would not be a sex cell. By definition a sex cell has half the number of chromosomes.

If a diploid organism has a genome consisting of twenty two chromosomes its gametes will have how many chromosomes?
Gametes have half the number of chromosomes - therefore if the diploid number is 22, the gametes would have 11 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes does a gamete cell have?
75
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.
All cells within an organism will have the same number of chromosomes except the gamete?
All cells within an organism will have the same number of chromosomes, which is the diploid number. The gametes, on the other hand, will have the haploid number of chromosomes.
If somatic cell has 30 chromosomes how many are in the gametes?
Since gametes are haploids, they would each contain haploid number of chromosomes, 15 chromosomes.
What is the number of chromosomes in a gemete?
Depends on what species is in questions - different species have different numbers of chromosomes in gametes.
If a diploid organism has a genome consisting of twenty two chromosomes its gametes will have how many chromosomes?
Gametes have half the number of chromosomes - therefore if the diploid number is 22, the gametes would have 11 chromosomes.
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.
Why do gametes need 12 the number of chromosomes of a regular body cell?
Gametes require half the number of chromosomes of a somatic (regular) cell as gametes are the sex cells. When gametes combine to make a zygote (a fertilised cell), the complete number of chromosomes will be present.
How many chromosomes would be found in the gametes that produced this monkey?
Half the number the monkey hasThe number of chromosomes depends on the species of monkey. So for which ever monkey you are talking about, the gametes that came together to form it each had half the total number the monkey has.
How many chromosomes in human gametes?
23, there are 23 chromosomes in human gametes
How many chromosomes does a gamete cell have?

What cell has haploid number of chromosomes?
Gametes.

All cells within an organism will have the same number of chromosomes, which is the diploid number. The gametes, on the other hand, will have the haploid number of chromosomes.
If somatic cell has 30 chromosomes how many are in the gametes?
Since gametes are haploids, they would each contain haploid number of chromosomes, 15 chromosomes.
Why is it important that gametes have half the usual number of chromosomes?
So that the number of chromossomes of of the next generation don't change. In some living thins they do changed based on generation, such as plants, but in animals that reproduce sexually meiosis has to occur to keep the number of chromosomes of a species constant.
