Yes. In an individual, almost all cells contain DNA (Red Blood Cells do not). That DNA is tightly wound like you would twist a drawstring, and kept tightly coiled as chromosomes. Since chromosomes can be found in a cheek cell, a liver cell (hepatocyte), and almost all other cells, they all contain the same chromosomes, which inevitably have the same genes. What makes cheek cells different from liver cells is which genes are turned on and off. Cheek cells have different genes turned on compared to liver cells.

Does a sperm cell have the same chromosomes as a cheek cell?

No, a sperm cell and a cheek cell do not have the same chromosomes. A sperm cell is a haploid cell containing 23 chromosomes, while a cheek cell is a somatic cell with 46 chromosomes, which is diploid.


How many chromosomes does a cheek cell have?

46 chromosomes. The only cells in the human body that do not contain 46 chromosomes are specialist cells which have no cell nucleus (eg a human red blood cell) and reproductive cells, which only contain 23 chromosomes. Thus the cheek cell of the animal would be no different from any other cell in its number of chromosomes and would contain the full number of chromosomes for that animal.


If a sperm from a bull contains 30 chromosomes then how many chromosomes are found in the bull's liver cell?

If a regular diploid body cell, (liver, skin etc..) have 60 chromosomes then the gamete (reproductive cell ie sperm/egg) have half that numberof chromosomes- So the Bull's liver cell contains 60 chromosomes.


If the diploid number in a liver cell is 52 how many chromosomes are there in the egg of this organism?

If the diploid number in a liver cell is 52, this means the organism has 52 chromosomes in total, with 26 pairs. The egg cell, being a haploid cell, will contain half the diploid number. Therefore, the egg of this organism will have 26 chromosomes.


How many sex chromosomes in a female liver cell?

Two X sex chromosomes are in a female liver cell.


How many chromosomes would a wooly mammoth have in its liver cell?

Woolly mammoths, like modern elephants, are believed to have had 56 chromosomes in total. Therefore, in a liver cell, which would contain the full set of chromosomes, a woolly mammoth would also have 56 chromosomes. This is consistent with the diploid number typical for their species.


How many chromosomes does each new cell contain mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?

How many chromosomes does each new cell contain after mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?


What is the differences of a human cheek cell and a leaf cell?

Liver Cells contain more Mitochondria than Cheek Cells because the Liver Cells need more energy, Liver Cells aid in Digestion and extract nutrients, whereas the Cheek protects against Bacteria and keeps the oral cavity moist, also cheek cells die and divide more often than Liver cells.


Do chromosomes only contain DNA?

Chromosomes of prokaryotic cell only contain DNA while chromosomes of eukaryotic cell are composed of DNA and protein.


What type of typical body cell has 46 chromosomes?

The typical body cell (or somatic cell) of a human has 46 chromosomes: 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. In females, there are two X chromosomes and in males there is one X and one Y.


How many chromosomes would a tetraploid potato gametic cell contain?

A tetraploid potato cell would contain four sets of chromosomes, so a gametic cell would contain half that amount, which is two sets (diploid). This means a tetraploid potato gametic cell would contain 48 chromosomes.


How many chromosomes does the male sex cell contain?

The sperm cell contains 23 chromosomes.
