In a gamete (sex) cell, there are 23 chromosomes. A gamete is a haploid, or n, whereas a somatic (normal) cell is a diploid, or 2n, and has 46 chromosomes.
Depends what animal. In humans its 23.
a gamete nucleus has only half the number of chromosomes in it than a regular body cell. in humans a regular body cell has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) in the nucleus, but a gamete ie sperm or egg cell has only 23 chromosomes, which are all unpaired. during fertilization the 23 chromosomes from a sperm and the 23 from the egg cell combine and pair up.
a haploid cell produced by meiosis apex
In mitosis, cell division creates two diploid cells, while in meiosis, cell division creates two haploid cells. In metaphase of mitosis, a pair of chromosomes meet in the middle of the cell. during anaphase, the pair seperates. In meiosis, the chromosomes line up individualy in metaphase and separate in anaphase. Mitosis is cell division for all cells in the body except gamete cells. Meiosis is cell division for gamete cells.
All sex cells are gametes. Gamete is a synonym of sex cell. Male sex cells/gametes are spermatozoa (singular: spermatozoon). Female sex cells/gametes are ova (singular: ovum). So the answer is yes, an ovum is the female sex cell/female gamete.
There are 23 haploid chromosomes in a normal human gamete (sex cell).
Human gametes have 23 chromosomes. (In cases of abnormality there may be a different number of chromosomes in a gamete).
There are 23 haploid chromosomes in a normal human gamete (sex cell).
A human gamete has 23 chromosomes. This is half the number of chromosomes found in a regular human cell, which has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
In a human cell we should have 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs. We get 23 of these chromosomes from the male gamete (sperm) and the other 23 from the female gamete (egg).
There are 23 haploid chromosomes in a normal human gamete (sex cell).
In a normal Human body cell (not a gamete) there are 46 chromosomes. This is not the same number of chromosomes in our bodies, only in one cell, and there are trillions of cells in the human body. In a gamete (a sperm cell or egg cell) there are 23 chromosomes. When the sperm and egg cell nuclei fuse in fertilisation, a diploid cell of 46 chromosomes is produced.
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.
Every normal human cell has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), so every human gamete has 23 chromosomes. Rarely, a human cell might have an extra chromosomes and that some times causes the death of the embryo or a deformity like Down's.
There are 23 haploid chromosomes in a normal human gamete (sex cell).
Gametes carry half the number of normal chromosomes as a body cell. Since there are normally 46, this means there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete.
A human cell normally has 46 chromosomes, with 23 pairs - one set of chromosomes inherited from the mother and one set from the father.
