Depends what animal. In humans its 23.
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.
There's no good reason for it; the number of chromosomes an animal has doesn't really have much to do with anything.
In human gametes, chromosomes are not paired. Instead, each gamete has one set of 23 chromosomes, and is said to be haploid.
each skin cell has 46 chromosomes
Gametes only have one set of each chromosome pair so that when two gametes come together, the chromosome number in the embryo is correct. There are 19 autosomes and one sex chromosome in the mouse gamete.
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.
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).
It varies from organism to organism. Humans have 23 chromosomes in a haploid (gamate) cell.
A gamete would be haploid, containing half the number of chromosomes compared to a diploid cell. Therefore, a gamete of this organism would be expected to contain 29 chromosomes.
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).
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 gamete has half the number of chromosomes of the somatic (diploid) cell. Therefore a zebra gamete would have 25 chromosomes if 50 is the diploid number.
There are 23 haploid chromosomes in a normal human gamete (sex cell).
Haploid gametes have half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell, so in humans, there are 23 chromosomes in a haploid gamete.
There are 23 haploid chromosomes in a normal human gamete (sex cell).
