The diploid number is always even because it contains two complete sets of chromosomes. Since there is two sets you split the diploid number in half. Two times any number is always even.

If the body cells of humans contain 46 chromosomes a single sperm cell should have?
A primary spermatocyte with 46 chromosomes will undergo meiosis and yield four spermatids with 23 chromosomes. A primary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis I two haploid secondary spermatocytes are produced.
If each human cell consists of 46 chromosomes how many chromosomes are in each egg or sperm cell?
23
Does each egg and sperm cell contain a full set of 46 chromosomes?
No. These cells contain only half the number of chromosomes as the other cells of the body. Each egg and sperm cell contain only 23 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes would a tetraploid potato gametic cell contain?
The gamete would contain half the number of chromosomes as the tetraploid parent cell.
Where are the human cells with 46 chromosomes found?
In humans, the diploid number (or 2n) is 46. Somatic cells contain 2n number of chromosomes. Somatic cells are those that make up the body. Every cells that makes up every organ contains 2n number of chromosomes. Gametes (or sex cells) contain haploid (n) number of chromosomes
What is the adjective referring to the number of chromosomes in a gamete?
Diploids and Haploids. Haploids have one set of chromosomes (Gametes). Diploids have two sets of chromosomes (Zygotes).
Causes the number of chromosomes present in a cell to be reduced by half?
Diploids
HOW MANY UNIQUE GAMETES CAN BE PRODUCED VIA INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENTS FOR AN ORGANISM WITH DIPLOIDS NUMBER OF SIX CHROMOSOMES?
eight
If the body cells of humans contain 46 chromosomes a single sperm cell should have?
A primary spermatocyte with 46 chromosomes will undergo meiosis and yield four spermatids with 23 chromosomes. A primary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis I two haploid secondary spermatocytes are produced.
What cell types contains the least number of chromosomes?
Sex cells contain half the number of chromosomes that body cells contain.
What is the difference in DNA between parent cells and daughter cells in meiosis?
Parent cells are diploids, and daughter cells are haploids. Therefore, the daughter cells have half of the the number of chromosomes as the parent cells. (chromosomes are DNA)
If each human cell consists of 46 chromosomes how many chromosomes are in each egg or sperm cell?
23
What did sutton study?
He studied grasshoppers, well the number of chromosomes in a grasshopper. grasshoppers contain about 24 chromosomes.
Does each egg and sperm cell contain a full set of 46 chromosomes?
No. These cells contain only half the number of chromosomes as the other cells of the body. Each egg and sperm cell contain only 23 chromosomes.
What is the meaning of a haploid?
Cells with a full set of chromosomes are Diploids. Cells that contain unpaired chromosomes contain half the set of chromosomes and are called Haploids. Gametes are reproductive cells (sperm and eggs) that are haploids which are produced by the process meiosis.
How many chromosomes would a tetraploid potato gametic cell contain?
The gamete would contain half the number of chromosomes as the tetraploid parent cell.
The purpose of meiosis is to?
Produce cells that contain the haploid number of chromosomes.
