the division of sex cells occur in a different way from the cells of the other body part.......
they undergo reduction division and there are stages of it..
the gametes have half the number of chromosomes (haploid) so that on fertilization it forms a correct human cell for further division and formation of bolus

∙ 14y agoWhen the two gametes (sperm and egg) combine, the chromosomes combine to make a full set, with half coming from the mother, and half coming from the father. This mixing aids in creating genetic diversity!
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoDuring meiosis, the female gamete and male gamete join together, and their combined chromosomes equal the normal amount of 46. They each have one allele for every gene, so the zygote has the 2 alleles for each trait. Hopefully this made sense!

∙ 11y agoBecause the when the gametes(haploid) fuses it results in the formation of diploid
zygote and during the process of gametogenesis , haploid gametes are produced are haploid.

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.
Cells that contain half the usual number of chromosomes are?
A sperm cell and an egg cell. They combine to make a baby with full chromosomes.
Are gametes haploid or diploid?
gametes are haploid (half the normal number of chromosomes)
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.
How many chromosomes does a gamete cell have?
75
What are the cells that are used for reproduction and that contain half the usual number of chromosomes?
What we call gametes (egg or sperm cells) have 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.
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.
Cells that contain half the usual number of chromosomes are?
A sperm cell and an egg cell. They combine to make a baby with full 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.
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.
What cell has half number of chromosomes in body cells?
gametes
How many chromosomes in human gametes?
23, there are 23 chromosomes in human gametes
Why must gamete have only half the number of chromosomes found in a body cell?
A gamete will only have one half of the number of chromosomes found in body cells because two gametes have to come together. This means that the two gametes have to have only half of the chromosomes.
Why must a gamete have only one half the number of chromosomes in body cells?
A gamete will only have one half of the number of chromosomes found in body cells because two gametes have to come together. This means that the two gametes have to have only half of the chromosomes.
How does the number of chromosome in a persons gametes compare with the numbers of chromosomes in the body cells?
There are half as many chromosomes in gametes than in normal body cells.
Are gametes haploid or diploid?
gametes are haploid (half the normal number of chromosomes)
