The number of chromosomes in a gamete is represented by what symbol?

The number of chromosomes in a gamete is represented by "n". This symbol represents the haploid number of chromosomes in a cell, which is half the number of chromosomes found in a diploid cell.


Biologists use what symbol to represent one set of chromosomes?

The number of chromosomes in a cell is represented by the letter "n". A cell can be haploid (n or 1n), diploid (2n), triploid (3n), etc. A gamete is haploid and would be represented by n, or half of a diploid (2n). Some notations will say the chromosome number (in humans for example), n equals 23 or n=23. Likewise, a diploid cell would be denoted by 2n=46.


Is a gamete 2N or N?

A gamete is N (39 chromosomes in the cell) while a body cell is 2N (78 chromosomes; full set).


What is the number of chromosomes in a gamete is represented by what letter?

For humans, it is 23. That is half of the original chromosomal count.


What is diploid number of chromosomes N?

The diploid number of chromosomes, often represented as 2N, refers to the total number of chromosomes in a cell that has two sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent. In humans, for example, the diploid number is 46, meaning there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. This contrasts with the haploid number, which is N and represents a single set of chromosomes, such as in gametes (sperm and egg cells) that contain 23 chromosomes.


If an organism had 5 chromosomes in a haploid sex cell (n) then how many chromosomes would there be in its diploid body cell (2n) 1 point?

If an organism has 5 chromosomes in a haploid sex cell (n), then it would have 10 chromosomes in its diploid body cell (2n). This is because diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Therefore, 2n equals 2 times n, which in this case is 2 times 5, resulting in 10 chromosomes.


What does N stand for with haploid cells?

N refers to the number of sets of chromosomes in a cell. For haploid cells "n" stands for 1n which have one set of chromosomes. vs. diploid cells which are 2n having one set from mom's egg and one set from dad's sperm.


How many chromosomes are in 50 sperm cells?

I assume you mean human sperm cells.Haploid and n = 23 chromosomes, so......23 * 50= 1150 chromosomes===============


Number of chromosomes in eggs and sperm cells?

I assume you mean human egg and sperm cells. There is a haploid number of chromosomes in these cells. 23 chromosomes. n.


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.


When two cells with n number of chromosomes fuse what type of cell result?

A diploid cell. In other words, a cell containing 2n chromosomes.


What is the number of chromosomes in a sex cell called?

n. Haploid.
