The human cell has 46 chromosomes. In the sex cell of a human it has one half that many. So 23 chromosomes from each parent. Different species have different number of chromosomes. This is why you do not have mixes such as a centaur.

How does the number of chromosomes in a grasshoppers body cell compare to the number in its sex cell?

sex cells(gametes) are haploid in nature as compared to body cells(somatic cells) thus the number of chromosomes in a sex cell of a grasshopper is half the number of chromosomes in a body cell


How do the numbers of chromosomes in cells compare with the number of chromosomes in sex cells?

Cells typically have two sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent, while sex cells (sperm and egg cells) only have one set of chromosomes. This means that cells have a diploid number of chromosomes, while sex cells have a haploid number of chromosomes.


How does a number of chromosomes in a person's sex cells compare with the number of chromosomes in the body cells?

In the sex cells you only have half of the number of chromosomes- 23 instead of 46 which is what you have in your other body cells This is because when the sperm fertilizes the egg, the two nuclei fuse together and the chromosomes combine so you then have the right number for normal body cells to develop in the baby.

Do body cells have less chromosomes than sex cells?

No, somatic (non-sex) cells have twice the number of chromosomes that sex cells have.


How many chromosomes are in their sex cells?

Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell, and are said to be haploid. In human sex cells there are 23 chromosomes.


The number of chromosomes in sex cells relative to the body cells?

there are half the number of chromosomes in sex cells than in body cells because the sex cell needs to combine with another to complete its set of chromosomes
