There are 40 chromosomes in a sperm cell of a white fish because the original number of chromosomes in a body cell is 80. Since the sex cells ( sperm and egg) each must contribute a set of chromosomes to the offspring, the sperm and egg both must have 40 chromosomes so they when the sperm and egg join or combine in a process known as fertilization, the offspring will have 80 chromosomes.

What is a cell containing a single set of chromosomes and therefore only single set of genes is?

A cell containing a single set of chromosomes and therefore only a single set of genes is known as a haploid cell. Haploid cells have one set of chromosomes, which is half the number of chromosomes found in diploid cells.

How many pairs of chromosomes found in a gametes?

In human gametes, chromosomes are not paired. Instead, each gamete has one set of 23 chromosomes, and is said to be haploid.


Which cell contains only a single set of chromosomes?

A single complete set of chromosomes is called a haploid set of chromosomes. It is generally represented by the letter N. In humans for example, there are a total of 46 chromosomes per somatic cell. Since there are two copies of each chromosome. the 2N number for human is 46 and N = 23.


What he meaning haploid?

Haploid refers to a cell that has half the usual number of chromosomes, typically found in reproductive cells such as eggs and sperm. In humans, haploid cells contain 23 single chromosomes. When two haploid cells combine during fertilization, they form a diploid cell with a full set of chromosomes.

In humans, a single cell typically contains 46 chromosomes: 23 pairs, with one set inherited from each parent. These chromosomes house the genetic information required for proper cell function and development.


Which cell has a single line of chromosomes?

A gamete, such as a sperm cell or an egg cell, has a single set of chromosomes, which is half the normal number found in somatic cells. This single set is created through a process called meiosis, which ensures genetic diversity during sexual reproduction.
