Humans typically have 46 chromosomes, organized into 23 pairs. Of these, 22 pairs are autosomes, and one pair consists of sex chromosomes (XX for females and XY for males). Each parent contributes one chromosome to each pair, resulting in a total of 23 chromosomes from the mother and 23 from the father.

The normal monoploid (n) # of a female sex cell is 23 chromosomes
A tetrad is the pairing of homologous chromosomes. A human offspring inherits 23 chromosomes (N) from each parent upon fertilization, giving the offspring 46 chromosomes (2N). In meiosis, homologous chromosomes (N from mom and N from dad) come together and form a tetrad, which consists of 2 homologous chromosomes. Since you inherit a chromosome from both parents (2N) that pair up to form a tetrad, you will have 23 tetrads that have a chromosome from mom and dad paired together. 1 N from mom + 1 N from dad = homologous pair = 1 tetrad 2N/2 = N tetrad --humans--> 2(23 chromosomes)/2 = 23 tetrads Diploid#/2 = # tetrad
N chromosomes refers to the total number of chromosomes in a cell. In humans, n typically equals 23, consisting of 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes (XX for females, XY for males). Each parent contributes one set of 23 chromosomes to their offspring, resulting in a total of 46 chromosomes.
If an organism has 5 chromosomes in a haploid sex cell (n), then it would have 10 chromosomes in its diploid body cell (2n). This is because diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Therefore, 2n equals 2 times n, which in this case is 2 times 5, resulting in 10 chromosomes.
I assume you mean human sperm cells.Haploid and n = 23 chromosomes, so......23 * 50= 1150 chromosomes===============
a human, gametes have 23. half the number of other cells

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.
Normal human gametes carry 23 chromosomes, which is half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic cell. During fertilization, a sperm cell with 23 chromosomes fuses with an egg cell, also with 23 chromosomes, to form a zygote with a total of 46 chromosomes.
The normal monoploid (n) # of a female sex cell is 23 chromosomes
Diploid and haploid are terms used to describe how many chromosomes are in a cell. Haploid or "n" represents half and Diploid or "2n" represents 2 times the n amount. For examples, in human haploid is n=23 chromosomes while diploid is 2n or 2(23) or total of 46 chromosomes.
I assume you mean human egg and sperm cells. There is a haploid number of chromosomes in these cells. 23 chromosomes. n.
Gametic [haploid] Cells are chromosome number n - which involves 23 individual chromosomes. Somatic [or diploid] Cells are chromosome number 2n - which involves 23 pairs of chromosomes. Mitotic Cells are 4n.

The haploid number is the number of chromosomes within the nucleus of a cell that constitutes one complete chromosomal set. This number is commonly abbreviated as n, where n stands for the number of chromosomes. The haploid number will be different for different organisms. In humans, the haploid number is expressed as n=23.Haploid human cells have 1 set of 23 chromosomes:Autosomal chromosomes (non-sex chromosomes): 22 sets.Sex chromosomes: 1 set.Diploid human cells have 2 sets of 23 chromosomes for a total of 46 chromosomes:Autosomal chromosomes: 22 sets of 2.Sex chromosomes: 1 set of 2.
will assume that you mean human cells. Somatic cells are diploid (2n), containing two sets of chromosomes, one of paternal, one of maternal origin. Gametes, on the other hand, are haploid (n), with a single set of chromosomes, ie. half as many as the somatic cell. Now, the haploid chromosome number (n) is characteristic of the species, and in humans this number happens to be 23. Therefore a human gamete has 23 chromosomes, and a human somatic cell 23 pairs, or 46 chromosomes.
