Sperm cells in humans contain 23 chromosomes. This is half the number of chromosomes found in most other body cells, which typically have 46 chromosomes. The reduction in chromosome number occurs through a process called meiosis, ensuring that when a sperm fertilizes an egg, the resulting zygote has the correct diploid number of 46 chromosomes.

How many chromosomes does each the male and female reproductive cell contain?

Male reproductive cells (sperm) contain 23 chromosomes, while female reproductive cells (eggs) also contain 23 chromosomes. When these two cells combine during fertilization, the resulting zygote will have a total of 46 chromosomes - 23 from each parent.

How many chromosomes are normally found in each of its sex cells if a dogfish shark contains 24 chromosomes in each of its muscle cells?

In the sex cells of a dogfish shark, there would typically be 12 chromosomes. This is because sex cells, such as sperm and eggs, are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. Since muscle cells in the dogfish shark contain 24 chromosomes, their sex cells would contain half that number.


How many chromosomes do the daughter cells os meiosis 1 contain?

The daughter cells of meiosis I contain the haploid number of chromosomes, which is half the number of chromosomes found in the parent cell. In humans, each daughter cell of meiosis I contains 23 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 many chromosomes in the sex cells of a dog?

Dogs have 39 pairs of chromosomes in their somatic cells. Sex cells (sperm and eggs) are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells. Therefore, the sex cells of a dog have 39 chromosomes.


How many pair of chromosomes do normal human cells contain?

Gametic [haploid] Cells are chromosome number n - which involves 23 individual chromosomes. Somatic [or diploid] Cells are chromosome number 2n - which involves 23 pairs of chromosomes. Mitotic Cells are 4n.
