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.

When a body cell divides through the process of mitosis the chromosomes in the daughter cells?

The chromosomes in the daughter cells are identical to the parent cell, with the same number and type of chromosomes. Each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes, ensuring genetic continuity. This process is essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of the body.


What cell type is a diploid?

Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, and are body (somatic) cells.


What type of cell are chromosomes found?

Chromosomes are found in all cells. They are found inside the nucleus of the cell.


Is a dipolid cell a body cell?

Yes, a diploid cell is a type of body cell. Diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes (one from each parent) and are found in most tissues of the body. These cells are responsible for growth, development, and maintenance of the body.


What is the type of chromosomes in the cell nucleus?

Chromatin.


A diagram that groups chromosomes by type and size of chromosomes from a cell is called a?

When two cell with n Number of chromosomes fuse what type of cell results?

A diploid cell. In other words, a cell containing 2n chromosomes.


What type of cell has two sets chromosomes?

A diploid cell has two complete sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent. This type of cell contains two copies of each chromosome, one from the mother and one from the father. Diploid cells make up the majority of cells in the human body.


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 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.


What type of cell does meiosis make?

Meiosis produces gamete cells, such as sperm and egg cells, which are haploid cells with half the number of chromosomes as a normal body cell.


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.
