Half. A somatic cell contains 2n and a gamete contains just n, where n is the number of chromosomes, which varies among species.
Stating the obvious, if an animal has to have 2n, and is formed via sexual reproduction then mathematically speaking, both gametes have to only have n. The survivability of a 3n animal (of a species/generation that is 2n) is low or impossible, and will usually die, sometimes even before being born. Such errors in division do occur, and they are naturally miscarried.
What else can I help you with?
Why must a cell reduce the amount of genetic material during meiosis?
So that it can separate into more cells.
Why are chromosomal translocations often not a problem?
Because if the same amount of genetic material is present, then the individual has all the correct material for normal development. In this case it is called a "balanced translocation" or BT. If there is extra genetic material (duplications) or of some of it is missing (deletions) then the individual most often has problems relating to physical and/or mental development. This is known as an "unbalanced translocation" or UBT. Duplications and deletions of genetic material also often result in miscarriage of the embryo. If the embryo survives, it very often has severe complications. So in cases of repeated miscarriage, it is important for the parents be be tested for possible chromosome issues.
What is definition of britleness for testing material?
A material will be graded as brittle when it breaks with only a small amount of strain. Its brittleness is based on the amount of deformation used to break the material.
What is genetic gain?
is the amount of increase in performance that is achieved through artifical genetic improvement programs. This is usually used to refer to the increase after one generation has passed.
If the price of building material suddenly increased by a large amount there would most likely be?
Shift to a seller's market.
How does chimpanzee DNA compare to human DNA in terms of genetic similarities and differences?
Chimpanzee DNA is about 98 similar to human DNA, meaning there are only small differences between the two species at the genetic level. These differences can influence physical traits and behaviors, but overall, chimpanzees and humans share a significant amount of genetic material.
What has happened to the amount of genetic material in a cell after the S phase of interphase?
The amount of genetic material in a cell remains the same after the S phase of interphase. While DNA replication occurs during the S phase, the total amount of genetic material doubles, but the number of chromosomes and the overall genetic content remain constant.
How much of the parent's nuclear material does each daughter cell get?
Each daughter cell receives an equal amount of the parent's nuclear material during cell division. The genetic material is copied and distributed evenly between the two daughter cells to ensure genetic continuity.
Do sister chromatids have half the amount of genetic material as the original?
No, sister chromatids have the same amount of genetic material as the original chromosome. They are exact copies of each other formed during DNA replication. Each chromatid contains a full set of genetic information.
What is the amount of variation in genetic material of all members in a population called?
Allele frequency.
How is genetic info held in the nucleus and and what in important about the amount in the sperm cell?
The sperm cell usually contains half the number of the genetic material.
Why must a cell reduce the amount of genetic material during meiosis?
So that it can separate into more cells.
Which processes result directly in the formation of cells with half the amount of genetic material that is characteristic of the species?
Meiosis is the process that results in the formation of cells with half the genetic material of the parent cell. During meiosis, the genetic material is reduced by half through two consecutive divisions, resulting in the formation of gametes with unique genetic combinations.
What is the end results of sexual reproductions of meiosis?
A gamete is formed, which is a haploid (n=1): having half the amount of genetic material.
How do the cock and the hen pass on their characteristics to the chick?
With their genetic material. The chicks have copy, and therefore express a certain amount of the parents traits.
How much genetic material must a spore carry to produce a new organism?
during sporulation ( spore formation from vegetative cell) genetic material (DNA) is degraded....it doesnt carry "genetic material" as awhole but carries all of its components- bases, sugars, phosphates...during or before germination ( spore to new organism) polymerization of these components' united structure ( nucleotide) occurs.
What is and egg cell?
Gametes! They contain half the amount of genetic material that body (somatic) cells contain. BAsed on this fact, they are called haploid.
