Can the number of chromosomes in a reproductive cell be greater than the number chromosomes in an organism's body cell?
No. The reproductive cells (eggs, sperm, ova and pollen) all contain half the number of chromosomes of an organisms body cell. This means that at fertilization the two reproductive cells (or gametes) combine to form a single cell with the appropriate number of chromosomes.If a gamete had more chromosomes than a normal cell then fertilization would lead to even more chromosomes and an offspring that would be seriously genetically compromised.
If a body cell has 22 chromosomes what would be the chromosomes what would be the chromosomes count for the reproductive cells?
Reproductive cells have half the number of chromosomes as body cells, so if a body cell has 22 chromosomes, then the reproductive cells (sperm or egg) would have 11 chromosomes. This is because during sexual reproduction, the sperm and egg combine to form a new cell with the full number of chromosomes.
Compare the number of chromosomes in an organism's body cells with the number in its reproductive cells?
The reproductive cells of an organism each contribute half of the required genetic material to create the offspring. This means that each reproductive cell has 1n, while the organism has 2n chromosomes.
Are chromosomes sexual reproductive cells?
Chromosomes are not reproductive cells. They are structures within cells that carry genetic information in the form of DNA. Reproductive cells, like eggs and sperm, contain half the number of chromosomes as other cells in the body.
What produces cells with half normal number of chromosomes?
Meiosis is a form of cell division that produces four daughter cells that are haploid (have half the number of chromosomes found in a normal/somatic cell). Meiosis is involved in sexual reproduction, and produces gametes (sperm and ovum/egg).
The process in which reproductive cells are formed is called?
The process in which reproductive cells are formed is called meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes of a normal body cell.
Haploid cells are symbolized by what?
Haploid cells are denoted n, and diploid cells are denoted 2n."n" refers to the set of chromosomes - therefore haploid cells have one set of chromosomes and diploid cells have two sets (pairs of chromosomes). Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells.
The similarities of the sperm cells and the egg cells?
Sperm cells and egg cells are both specialized reproductive cells involved in sexual reproduction. They each contain half the number of chromosomes as a normal body cell and are haploid. Both cells are produced through the process of meiosis and have unique structures that aid in the fusion of genetic material during fertilization.
What do terms diploid and haploid mean?
Haploid cell has half of the normal number of chromosomes the reproductive cell has. Diploid cell refers when the cells has two alleles of a gene.
Did any cell has odd number of chromosomes in it?
in humans the sperm and egg cells (gametes) have 23, half the number of chromosomes as in normal cells
Do reproductive cells have only half as many chromosomes as the other cells in an organism?
They have half the normal number because 1. increases diversity because only half of the genetic information per gamete cell 2. ensure the offspring ends up with the correct number of chromosomes because one gamete cell will fuse with another gamete cell (also with half the number of chromosomes) and the resulting organism will have a full set.
If the number of chromosomes in the skin cell of an organism is 28 what is the number of chromosomes in the organism's cells?
depends on the organism, but (i think) it should be half the normal number of chromosomes in a normal cell, because the gametes (egg and sperm) are haploid cells, meaning they have half the number because when they fuse together in fertilisation they need to have the correct amount of chromosomes so that they can duplicate and grow into an embryo.
