The sex cells, or gametes, (egg and sperm) don't contain pairs of chromosomes. They each contain 23 singular chromosomes. When the egg and sperm combine, the resulting cell will have 23 pairs of chromosomes.

If a squirrel normally has 40 pairs of chromosomes in its cells after mitosis occurs how many pairs of chromosomes would be in each of the squirrels body cells?

After mitosis occurs, the number of pairs of chromosomes in each of the squirrel's body cells would remain the same as before, which is 40 pairs of chromosomes.

Chromosomes found in somatic cells and are perfectly matched in males and females?

Autosomes are the chromosomes found in somatic cells that are perfectly matched in males and females. These chromosomes are responsible for determining non-sex traits in an individual. Both males and females have two copies of each autosome, one from each parent, making them perfectly matched.


What is a cell with pairs of chromosomes called and a cell with no pairs of chromosomes?

A cell with pairs of chromosomes is called a diploid cell, while a cell with no pairs of chromosomes is called a haploid cell. Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, while haploid cells have only one set of chromosomes.

This describes a diploid cell, which is the normal state for body cells in humans. In diploid cells, there are two sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent, which allows for genetic diversity and proper functioning of the organism.
