There are no homologous chromosomes in a haploid cell, as a haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes. One member of each pair of homologous chromosomes comes from one set, and the other member comes from the second set, so homologous chromosomes only exist in diploid cells.

If the body cells in an organism have no homologous pairs of chromosomes the organism is most likely to be?

If the body cells in an organism have no homologous pairs of chromosomes, the organism is most likely to be haploid. This condition is typical of organisms that reproduce through asexual means or certain stages in the life cycle of gametes in sexually reproducing organisms. Examples include many fungi and some algae. In such cases, the cells contain a single set of chromosomes rather than pairs.


If 2 haploid in a somatic cell combine together to produce a diploid how many?

If two haploid cells combine, a diploid cell is formed with two copies of each chromosome, one from each haploid cell. This results in a total of 46 chromosomes in humans, where each chromosome has a homologous pair.


How many homologous chromosomes would be in a offspring?

Offspring inherit one set of chromosomes from each parent, resulting in pairs of homologous chromosomes. In humans, for example, there are 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes, totaling 46 chromosomes. Thus, an offspring would have 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes, one from each parent.


Certain type of diploid cell contains 58 chromosomes How many chromosomes would you expect a gamete of this organism to contain?

A gamete would be haploid, containing half the number of chromosomes compared to a diploid cell. Therefore, a gamete of this organism would be expected to contain 29 chromosomes.


If the diploid number in a liver cell is 52 how many chromosomes are there in the egg of this organism?

If the diploid number in a liver cell is 52, this means the organism has 52 chromosomes in total, with 26 pairs. The egg cell, being a haploid cell, will contain half the diploid number. Therefore, the egg of this organism will have 26 chromosomes.

How many chromosomes are in the bodycells or an organism that has a haploid number of 8?

The diploid number of chromosomes for an organism with a haploid number of 8 would be 16. This means that in the body cells of this organism, there would be 16 chromosomes, with each chromosome having a pair (homologous chromosomes).


How many chromosomes are in the body cells of an organism that has a haploid?

When a cell contains only one chromosome of each homologous pair the cell is?

ploidy is the classification based on the number of homologous chromosomes present. if there is only one pair of homologous chromosomes then the nucleus is said to be haploid if there are two pairs then it is known as diploid if three it is triploid if many it is noted as polyploidy --------------------------- an oocyte or a spermatocyte are haploid cells in a species that normally have diploid cells.


How many chromosomes will a gamete of this organism have?

It varies from organism to organism. Humans have 23 chromosomes in a haploid (gamate) cell.

If 2 haploid in a somatic cell combine together to produce a diploid how many?

If two haploid cells combine, a diploid cell is formed with two copies of each chromosome, one from each haploid cell. This results in a total of 46 chromosomes in humans, where each chromosome has a homologous pair.


How many homologous chromosomes do you have in your gametes?

Number of Homologous Chromosomes in GametesGametes contain 23 paired chromosomes. Gametes are haploid because they are sex cells to be combined with other haploid sex cells of the opposite gender to form the required 46 chromosomes that form a zygote (a future child), which is diploid.


How many homologous pairs of chromosomes does a diploid human cell have?

A human gamete does not have any pairs of homologous chromosomes. A single human gamete contains 23 chromosomes, or a half set. None of these chromosomes are homologous with each other.


What species other than humans have a haploid number of 23 chromosomes?

Ploidy is another species that has 23 chromosomes. Many organisms have more than two sets of homologous chromosomes.


An organism has a haploid number of 20. What is the organism's diploid number?

16 (haploid number = n, and diploid number =2n) so if n=8, the diploid number is 2x8 = 16


How many chromosomes are in a haploid gametes?

Haploid gametes have half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell, so in humans, there are 23 chromosomes in a haploid gamete.
