Generally two sex cells i. e. the male gamete combines with the egg to form the zygote that develops into a new organism (embryo).

When sex cells combine to produce offspring each sex cell will contribute how many chromosomes in body cells?

Each sex cell contributes half the number of chromosomes compared to body cells during fertilization. This results in the offspring having the full set of chromosomes, one set from each parent, which is essential for normal development and growth.


What is the posh name for sex cells?

The posh name for sex cells is "gametes." In humans and many other organisms, there are two types of gametes: sperm, which are male gametes, and ova (or eggs), which are female gametes. These cells are crucial for sexual reproduction, as they combine during fertilization to form a new organism.


How many matched pairs of chromosmes are there in each cells?

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.


What is the process when male and female sex cells combine?

Plant cells don't have specific sex cells because they are asexual creatures. Asexual meaning they reproduce by means of the cell division or mitosis, not by one cell fertilizing another, like most animals cells do during meiosis.


Do two sex cells combine during meiosis?

No, two sex cells do not combine during meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that involves two rounds of division, resulting in the production of four haploid cells (gametes) each containing half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Two gametes - one from each parent - combine during fertilization to form a diploid zygote with the full set of chromosomes.

When sex cells combine to produce offspring each sex cell will contribute what?

Each sex cell will contribute half of the genetic material needed to produce offspring. The egg from the female will contribute one set of chromosomes, while the sperm from the male will contribute the other set. These combined chromosomes will determine the genetic traits of the offspring.

Why is it necessary for sex cells to have fewer the number of chromosomes regular cells?

The sex cells must combine with each other to make a whole. Each gamete starts out with half of the regular cell so that it can combine to make a whole. If they start out like somatic cells, the result will be double the chromosomes for the offspring.
