It has half of whatever the organism's regular cells have.

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.


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.


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.


How are gamete different from zygotes compare the number of chromosome in each?

Gamete is the term that refers to the individual haploid sex cells, the egg or the sperm, and contains only half of the necessary genetic information for a new organism. A zygote is the diploid result of fertilization between an egg and sperm, which will ultimately grow into the organism.


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.


Reproductive cells are called zygotes true or false?

false reproductive cells (also called germ cells) are egg & sperm when these reproductive cells fuse together, the zygote is formed


Which organism has the most chromosomes in its cells?

The organism with the most chromosomes in its cells is the marbled lungfish, which has 132 chromosomes.


What do we called an organism's non reproductive cells?

An organism's non-reproductive cells are called somatic cells. These cells make up most of the body's tissues and organs, excluding the germ cells, which are involved in reproduction. Somatic cells are diploid in organisms that reproduce sexually, containing two sets of 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.


What are haploid chromosomes?

Haploid chromosomes are single sets of chromosomes found in the reproductive cells of an organism. In humans, haploid cells are created through the process of meiosis, where each parent donates one set of chromosomes to the offspring. Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells, which contain two sets of 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.
