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.

If the number of chromosomes in the skin cells of an organism is 28 what is the number of chromosomes in the organisms egg cells?
Gametes have half the number of chromosomes that most cells in the organism have. Most human cells have 46 chromosomes, but eggs and sperm have 23 chromosomes each.
The number of chromosomes in a nucleus depends upon the female only?
False
Out of producers decomposers and consumers which has the highest number of organisms?
producers has the highest number and they are called autotrophs because they make their own food then the consumers are next which are called heterotrophs because they depend on other organism for food and the decomposers are on the top of the pyramid of numbers
What is the process for producing sperm?
The process of producing sperm cells is called spermatogenesis. Sperm production begins before puberty through the increase in the number of precursor cells called spermatogonia. They in turn double in number through mitotic cell division and become primary and secondary spermatocytes. Then through two stages of cellular division called meiosis, the primary spermatocytes become 4 spermatids, which then further develop into spermatozoa, or sperm.With regard to the cellular divisions involved, mitosis maintains the same number of chromosomes (46 in humans) in the nucleus of the resulting twin daughter cells after division, whereas in meiosis, the four resulting daughter cells have only 23 chromosomes each.
Do Gucci handbags have a serial number on them meaning that it is a real Gucci bag?
All Gucci bags have a serial number on the tag inside. I have just recently found out that manufacters who make gucci products even put the serial number in them. It is so hard to tell a fake from a real one these days. Do not buy from anywhere except the gucci store!
Why do reproductive cells need to have half the normal number of chromosomes?
Humans and other organisms that reproduce sexually need to have half the normal number of chromosomes to make sure their offspring have the same number of chromosomes as they do - the father and mother each contribute half of their chromosomes (sperm and egg).
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.
An organisms gametes have double the number of chromosomes found in the organisms body cells.?
No, a gamete has half the number of chromosomes as compared to the organisms body cells.
What is meitoic?
The process of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the number of chromosomes in reproductive cells from diploid to haploid, leading to the production of gametes in animals and spores in plants.
How does number of chromosomes in a human body cell compare with the number of chromosomes in a human reproductive cell?
In the human body there are 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 in total); in reproductive cells there are only one half of the pair (or 23 in total). During fertilization the 23 from the male sperm cell fuse with the 23 from the female ovule and recombine as two pairs of 23 chromosomes (46 again in total). Normal human cells are diploid (2n), while sex cells are haploid (n)
Compare the number of chromosomes in a human skin cell to the number of chromosomes in a human egg cell?
yes it has 23 cells.
How does the number of chromosomes at the end of meiosis compare to the number at the beginning?
It's homicide.
How does the number of chromosomes in sex cell compare to the number of chromosomes in cells formed during mitosis?
it compares by 50% or by half of chromosomes because there are 23 sex cells and 46 chromosomes
How does the number of chromosomes in sex cells compare to the number of chromosomes in cells formed during mitosis?
it compares by 50% or by half of chromosomes because there are 23 sex cells and 46 chromosomes
How does the number in chromosomes in sex cells compare to the number of chromosomes in cells formed during mitosis?
it compares by 50% or by half of chromosomes because there are 23 sex cells and 46 chromosomes
If the diploid number of chromosomes for an organisms is twenty six what is the haploids number?
13
What is the maximum number of offspring that parent organisms can produce?
