Almost any cell with a nucleus can be used for chromosome analysis. If a person gets skin cells under the finger nails, these can be used for DNA analysis. It might happen in a crime. A fetus sheds skin cells before birth and these can be used as well.

In what type of human cell is the chromosome number 23?

The chromosome number 23 is found in human sex cells, such as eggs (in females) and sperm (in males). These cells are known as haploid cells, containing half the normal number of chromosomes found in somatic cells.


Why is a human cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome a sperm?

Human somatic (body) cells contain two sets of 23 chromosomes. Human gametes (sperm and egg cells) contain one set of 23 chromomes -- 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. Only a sperm cell can carry a y chromosome. A sperm cell can also carry an x chromosome. The ovum can carry only an x chromosome, never a y chromosome. So a cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome must be a sperm cell.


How many chromosomes do human cells have, and what is the structure of each chromosome in terms of pairs of identical components?

Human cells typically have 46 chromosomes, which are organized into 23 pairs. Each chromosome in a pair contains identical components called sister chromatids, which are joined together at a region called the centromere.


How many pair of chromosomes do normal human cells contain?

Gametic [haploid] Cells are chromosome number n - which involves 23 individual chromosomes. Somatic [or diploid] Cells are chromosome number 2n - which involves 23 pairs of chromosomes. Mitotic Cells are 4n.


What are the genetic differences between bacteria cells and human body cells?

One key genetic difference is the presence of a nucleus in human cells, which bacteria lack. Human cells have linear chromosomes enclosed within the nucleus, while bacteria have a single circular chromosome located in the cytoplasm. Additionally, bacteria may have plasmids, small circular DNA molecules that are often absent in human cells.

How many genes do cells obtain?

The number of genes varies from chromosome to chromosome and the number of chromosomes varies from species to species (from as few as 1 single chromosome per cell to as many 30,000 chromosome pairs per cell). Human cells have 23 chromosome pairs per cell.
