Deer mice, like other mammals, have a diploid number of chromosomes. For deer mice (genus Peromyscus), the diploid number is typically 40 chromosomes. Therefore, in their gametes, which are haploid, there would be 20 chromosomes.
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. During gamete formation, the chromosome number is halved, resulting in gametes with 23 chromosomes. Therefore, the organism that has 20 chromosomes in one of its gametes would not be human.
The ploidy of the gametes produced by a tetraploid individual with nondisjunction of all chromosomes during meiosis would be diploid. This is because, in nondisjunction, the chromosomes do not separate properly, leading to the formation of gametes with double the normal chromosome number.
Chromosome numbers in gametes are always half that of normal cell. For example human cells have 46 chromosomes but a human gamete (sex cell e.g sperm/eggs) will have half that number which in this case will be 23. The number is chromosomes is halfed in gametes so that when the sperm meets the egg and the fuse to make a zygote that you get half the genetic material from your Mother and half from you Father, meaning you are not a clone.
If it had 180 chromosomes in it's diploid stage (a normal body cell) you could expect to find 90 in its gametes.
A normal human gamete contains 23 chromosomes, which is half the number of chromosomes found in a typical body cell of a parent, which contains 46 chromosomes. This reduction in chromosome number occurs through the process of meiosis, ensuring that when gametes unite during fertilization, the resulting zygote has the correct diploid number of 46 chromosomes.
20 chromosomes
Gametes have half the number of chromosomes - therefore if the diploid number is 22, the gametes would have 11 chromosomes.
If gametes were diploid, the zygote would contain double the number of chromosomes found in a typical diploid zygote. So, if a human diploid cell normally has 46 chromosomes, a diploid gamete would have 46 chromosomes as well, resulting in a zygote with 92 chromosomes.
in human being's normal cells 46 chromosomes are found whereas in gametes half of the chromosomes,that is;23 are found if gametes will have same no. of chromosomes as in normal cells than in offspring (46+46=92)chromosomes will be found but it can't happen
If a somatic cell has 30 chromosomes, then the gametes produced by that cell would contain 15 chromosomes. Gametes, like sperm and egg cells, are haploid cells containing half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells, which are diploid.
Half the number the monkey hasThe number of chromosomes depends on the species of monkey. So for which ever monkey you are talking about, the gametes that came together to form it each had half the total number the monkey has.
When a zygote is diploid it obtains two sets of chromosomes. Gametes contain one set of chromosomes. Therefore, 6 chromosomes would amount to 3 sets of gametes.
4. Two gametes get together to make something new. Just double up!
When a zygote is diploid it obtains two sets of chromosomes. Gametes contain one set of chromosomes. Therefore, 6 chromosomes would amount to 3 sets of gametes.
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. During gamete formation, the chromosome number is halved, resulting in gametes with 23 chromosomes. Therefore, the organism that has 20 chromosomes in one of its gametes would not be human.
Organism gametes typically contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells, forming a haploid set of chromosomes. In humans, this means gametes have 23 chromosomes each, while somatic cells have 46 chromosomes in total.
Unlike somatic (body) cells, gametes have two time the number of chromosomes as body cells. Gametes (2n). Body cells (n). For example, human 46 chromosomes in gamete cells but half of that (23) in body cells.
