I am not quite sure what you mean with "type of number". In any case, 46 chromosomes is 2 x 23 chromosomes; that is, the chromosomes come in pairs.

In humans 23 chromosomes is what type of number?

In humans, 23 chromosomes represent a haploid number, which is the number of chromosomes found in gametes (sperm and egg cells). This is half of the diploid number, which is 46 chromosomes in somatic (body) cells. The haploid number is crucial for sexual reproduction, as it ensures that when gametes fuse during fertilization, the resulting zygote has the correct diploid chromosome number.


If meiosis goes does the number of chromosomes increase?

No, meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes by half, leading to the formation of gametes (sex cells) with the haploid number of chromosomes. This reduction is crucial for sexual reproduction to maintain the chromosome number in the species.


Compare the numbers of chromosomes in different species?

Humans have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), fruit flies have 8 chromosomes, dogs have 78 chromosomes, and turtles have 50 chromosomes. The number of chromosomes can vary widely among different species and does not necessarily correspond to complexity or evolutionary advancement.


How many chromosome will each resulting cell contain?

The number of chromosomes in each resulting cell depends on the type of cell division occurring. In mitosis, each resulting daughter cell will contain the same number of chromosomes as the original cell, maintaining the diploid number in somatic cells. In meiosis, each resulting gamete will contain half the number of chromosomes, resulting in haploid cells. For humans, this means 46 chromosomes in mitotic cells and 23 in meiotic cells.

How many long chromosomes are present in each new cell?

It all depends on the type of organism on many chromosomes are present in each cell. By regular cell division each new cell will have the same number as the original cell. Some organisms have many more chromosomes than humans do and some have many less chromosomes.


How many chromosomes do eukaryotic organisms have in their body cells?

It depends on the type of eukaryotic organism. For example, both humans and fruit flies are a part of the kingdom Animalia, which is composed solely of eukaryotic organisms. However, humans have 43 chromosomes in 23 homologous pairs, while fruit flies have 8 chromosomes in 4 homologous pairs.


Does the number of chromosomes determine how complex an organism is?

No there isn't. Humans are much more complex than a fern, yet the Adder's Tongue Fern has 1262 chromosomes and a human has only 46. It also doesn't work the other way either (more complex organisms having less chromosomes) for fruit flies have 8 chromosomes and dogs have 78. Also, chimpanzees have the same number of chromosomes as potatoes and, surely, they are on different complexity levels.

What is the definition of the phrase autosome?

An autosome is a type of chromosome that does not happen to be a sex chromosome (allosome). Humans will each have 42 autosome chromosomes and one pair of allosome chromosomes.
