How do the number of chromosomes in a female scorpion's egg cells compare with the number in her body (somatic) cells?
There are 46 chromosomes in your body cells. The egg cells have half the amount of chromosomes as the body cells, so there are 23 chromosomes in the egg cells.
What is the term for having two chromosomes of each pair- Normal body cells?
Diploid is the term for cells that contain two chromosomes of each pair. Euploid is a term meaning normal body cells.
Are stomatic cells haploid or diploid?
Somatic cells (of the body) are diploid (having 46 chromosomes). Only gametes (eggs and sperm) are haploid (having 23 chromosomes). So that during fertilization the egg and sperm combine their chromosomes resulting in a new life with 46 unique chromosomes (in humans, of course. Others species has differing numbers of chromosomes). The haploid combination ensures genetic diversity.
What did Sutton observe about the relative numbers of chromosomes in the body cells and sex cells of grasshoppers?
Sutton observed that while body cells in grasshoppers had a diploid number of chromosomes, sex cells (sperm and eggs) had a haploid number of chromosomes. This observation led to the hypothesis that chromosomes are responsible for passing on hereditary information from one generation to the next.
Wheat has 42 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are in their body cells?
The 'body' cells have 42 chromosomes. The sex cells would have 21 chromosomes. 3 X 7
How are body cells different from sex cells?
Cause body cells have twice the chromosomes a sex cell has Body cells have 46 chromosomes and sex cells have 23 chromosomes.

Is the number of gametes twice the number of chromosomes found in the body cells?
Gametes are cells, in humans they contain 23 chromosomes. Body Cells (Properly Called: Somatic Cells) in humans contain 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23). Some differences or problems can cause this number to change in specific humans, gametes, and somatic cells. Muscle cells may have hundreds of chromosomes, red blood cells have none.
How does the number of chromosomes in sex cells compare with the numbers of chromosomes in body cells?
Sex cells have 23 chromosomes compared to the body cells' 46 chromosomes. This is because a child is created from half the genome of its father and half the genome of its mother. In other words, 23 chromosomes in the mother's egg and 23 chromosomes in the father's sperm, when combined generate a child with 46 chromosomes in its body cells. However, sometimes mutations occur where more of fewer chromosomes are passed down, this will either result in no embryotic development or the embryo having some kind of syndrome.

How do body cells and sex cells differ?
Human cells have 46 chromosomes (call that 2n, or 2 times n). Now then, if an egg cell + sperm cell = fertilized egg (which becomes a human), how many chromosomes do each have? An egg cell must have 23 chromosomes, and a sperm cell must have 23 chromosomes, because 23 + 23 = 46. When the egg (23) and sperm (23) combine to form a fertilized egg, this egg will now have 46 chromosomes. So human sex cells have n, or 23 chromosomes. If you mean to distinguish somatic chromosomes from sex chromosomes, then you have 22 pairs of somatic chromosomes plus one pair of sex chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are there in a grasshoppers body cells?
I don't know man, I'm looking for the same response myself.

How many chromosomes do body cells of organisms have in relationship to the sex cells of the same organism?
Body cells typically have a diploid number of chromosomes, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. Sex cells, or gametes, have a haploid number of chromosomes, meaning they have one set of chromosomes. This allows for the correct number of chromosomes to be restored upon fertilization.
How does the number of chromosomes in sex cell compare with the number of chromosomes in body cells?
Sex cells have 23 chromosomes compared to the body cells' 46 chromosomes. This is because a child is created from half the genome of its father and half the genome of its mother.
