Manatees, specifically the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus), have a diploid chromosome number of 36. This means that their somatic cells contain a total of 36 chromosomes, organized into 18 pairs. Chromosome counts can vary among different species of manatees, but 36 is the commonly recognized number for this species.

How many chromosomes have non somatic cell?

Non-somatic cells, such as germ cells (sperm and egg cells), have half the number of chromosomes compared to somatic cells. In humans, somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, while germ cells have 23 chromosomes.


Number of chromosome in somatic colon of manatee?

Manatees, specifically the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus), have a diploid chromosome number of 44 in their somatic cells. This means that they possess 22 pairs of chromosomes. Chromosome numbers can vary among different species, but for manatees, 44 is the established count.

How many chromosome pairs do horses have in their somatic cells?

The diploid number of chromosomes in a horse's cell is 64, therefore they have 32 pairs of chromosomes in their somatic cells.


Are adult cells and somatic cells the same?

Adult cells could refer to any cell in the adult body. Somatic cells however, are body cells (cells that have diploid number of chromosomes), different from germ cells (containing haploid number of chromosomes)


How many chromosomes do human somatic cells have?

Human somatic cells typically have 46 chromosomes.


If somatic cell has 30 chromosomes how many are in the gametes?

If a somatic cell has 30 chromosomes, then the gametes produced by that cell would contain 15 chromosomes. Gametes, like sperm and egg cells, are haploid cells containing half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells, which are diploid.


How do the number of chromosomes compare in gametes and somatic cells?

I will assume that you mean human cells. Somatic cells are diploid (2n), containing two sets of chromosomes, one of paternal, one of maternal origin. Gametes, on the other hand, are haploid (n), with a single set of chromosomes, ie. half as many as the somatic cell. Now, the haploid chromosome number (n) is characteristic of the species, and in humans this number happens to be 23. Therefore a human gamete has 23 chromosomes, and a human somatic cell 23 pairs, or 46 chromosomes.


How many chromosomes dose a manatee have in their sex cell?

Manatees have a total of 38 chromosomes in their somatic (body) cells, which means their sex cells (gametes) contain half that number. Therefore, manatees have 19 chromosomes in their sex cells. This reduction is due to the process of meiosis, which produces gametes with half the genetic material for reproduction.


Do body cells have less chromosomes than sex cells?

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