Best Answer

The typical body cell (or somatic cell) of a human has 46 chromosomes: 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. In females, there are two X chromosomes and in males there is one X and one Y.

How many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell?

It depends on the type of cell. In ordinary somatic (body) cells it is the same as the parent cell. In sex cells it is half the number. Many animals and plants have numbers of chromosomes that are different from human cells numbers.


How number of chromosomes in a cells compare to the number in its sex cells?

The human cell has 46 chromosomes. In the sex cell of a human it has one half that many. So 23 chromosomes from each parent. Different species have different number of chromosomes. This is why you do not have mixes such as a centaur.

What cells types are diploid?

The type of cell that is determined to be diploid is one that has two complete sets of chromosomes. This cell has 46 chromosomes. It is also a reproductive cell. When it splits, it forms a zygote with 23 chromosomes.


How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?

It depends on the type of cell division. In mitosis, 2 daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell are created. In a human, this would be 46 chromosomes. In meiosis, 4 daughter cell with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell are created. In a human, this would be 23 chromosomes.
