What is the name given to body cells due to the number of chromosomes?
Diploid Cells
How do the number of chromosomes in a female scorpion's egg cells compare with the number in her body (somatic) cells?
There are 46 chromosomes in your body cells. The egg cells have half the amount of chromosomes as the body cells, so there are 23 chromosomes in the egg cells.
What did Sutton observe about the relative numbers of chromosomes in the body cells and sex cells of grasshoppers?
Sutton observed that while body cells in grasshoppers had a diploid number of chromosomes, sex cells (sperm and eggs) had a haploid number of chromosomes. This observation led to the hypothesis that chromosomes are responsible for passing on hereditary information from one generation to the next.
An organisms gametes have double the number of chromosomes found in the organisms body cells.?
No, a gamete has half the number of chromosomes as compared to the organisms body cells.
If a body cell has 22 chromosomes what would be the chromosomes what would be the chromosomes count for the reproductive cells?
Reproductive cells have half the number of chromosomes as body cells, so if a body cell has 22 chromosomes, then the reproductive cells (sperm or egg) would have 11 chromosomes. This is because during sexual reproduction, the sperm and egg combine to form a new cell with the full number of chromosomes.

Do Body cells only have half the total number of chromosomes?
All body cells contain a total number of 46 chromosomes except sex cells (the egg and the sperm) which have half the number of chromosomes (23) no.... body cells or somatic cells have 46 chromosomes which is the diploid chromosome number of homo sapiens... gametes or sex cells have 23 chromosomes which is the haploid chromosome number...
How many chromosomes do body cells of organisms have in relationship to the sex cells of the same organism?
Body cells typically have a diploid number of chromosomes, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. Sex cells, or gametes, have a haploid number of chromosomes, meaning they have one set of chromosomes. This allows for the correct number of chromosomes to be restored upon fertilization.
Why is it important that sex cells have exactly the number of chromosomes as the body cells?
The DO NOT "have exactly the number of chromosomes as the body cells", they have 1/2 that number. This is so that when two sex cells come together to form an embryo, the cells of that embryo have exactly the same number of chromosomes as the body cells of the two parents and not twice that number.
Is the number of gametes twice the number of chromosomes found in the body cells?
Gametes are cells, in humans they contain 23 chromosomes. Body Cells (Properly Called: Somatic Cells) in humans contain 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23). Some differences or problems can cause this number to change in specific humans, gametes, and somatic cells. Muscle cells may have hundreds of chromosomes, red blood cells have none.
The number of chromosomes in sex cells relative to the body cells?
there are half the number of chromosomes in sex cells than in body cells because the sex cell needs to combine with another to complete its set of chromosomes
What did Sutton observe about the relative numbers of chromosomes in the body cells and sex cells of grasshoppers?

How does the number of chromosomes in a grasshoppers body cell compare to the number in its sex cell?
sex cells(gametes) are haploid in nature as compared to body cells(somatic cells) thus the number of chromosomes in a sex cell of a grasshopper is half the number of chromosomes in a body cell
How does the number of chromosomes in a person sex cells compared with the number of chromosomes in the body cells.?
In the sex cells you only have half of the number of chromosomes- 23 instead of 46 which is what you have in your other body cells This is because when the sperm fertilizes the egg, the two nuclei fuse together and the chromosomes combine so you then have the right number for normal body cells to develop in the baby.
