How many chromosome does a normal human being have?

A normal human being has 23 chromosomes from each parent, giving them 23 pairs or 46 in total.


How many genes do cells obtain?

The number of genes varies from chromosome to chromosome and the number of chromosomes varies from species to species (from as few as 1 single chromosome per cell to as many 30,000 chromosome pairs per cell). Human cells have 23 chromosome pairs per cell.


How many chromosomes does a normal human diploid cell have?

22 pairs of autosomes, one X-chromosome, and one Y-chromosome


What is the total number of chromosome in a human diploid cell?

If the somatic (normal) cell has 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 38. If the gametes (sperm and ovum/egg) have 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 76.


How many chromosomes are in a normal human cell?

46 chromosomes23 pairs


If a human gamete with an extra chromosome participated in fertilization with a normal human gamete what condition results?

A trisomy. Trisomies are usually fatal in all chromosome pairs except 5, 13, 21 (these cause Down syndrome), and 23 (The chromosome pair that determines gender)


What is the chromosome number?

The original cell (before meiosis occurs) will have a chromosome number of 2n. After meiosis, the resulting daughter cells will have a chromosome number of n. So the daughter cells will have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. For example, a normal somatic (non-sex) human cell will have 46 chromosomes. Each gamete (the result of meiosis) will therefore have 23 chromosomes.


How many chromosome are shown in a normal human karyotype?

I believe the answer to your question is 23.


How many base pairs do real human chromosomes consist of?

Real human chromosomes consist of different number of base pairs. For example, chromosome 1 is the largest and contains about 249 million base pairs, while chromosome 21 is the smallest and contains about 48 million base pairs. In total, all 46 human chromosomes contain approximately 3.2 billion base pairs.


What are the Number of Chromosome Pairs in a potato?

How many bases does a single human chromosome contain?

Every chromosome is a different size so the number of base pairs is different for each chromosome. X chromosome has more that 153 million base pairs (greater that 306 million bases) Y chromosome has around 50 million base pairs (around 100 million bases)
