A body cell contains more genetic information than a gamete. Body cells are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes (one from each parent), totaling 46 chromosomes in humans. In contrast, gametes (sperm and egg cells) are haploid, containing only one set of chromosomes, which amounts to 23 in humans. Thus, body cells have double the genetic information compared to gametes.

What is the male gamete?

The male gamete is the sperm cell. It is a specialized reproductive cell produced by the male reproductive system and carries genetic information to fertilize the female gamete (egg) during sexual reproduction.


What is a gamete cell an egg a muscle blood nerve?

A gamete cell is a reproductive cell that carries half the genetic information necessary for reproduction; in humans, the female gamete is the egg (ovum), while the male gamete is the sperm. Muscle, blood, and nerve cells are somatic cells, which make up the body and perform various functions, such as movement, transportation of oxygen, and transmission of signals, respectively. Gametes are distinct from these somatic cells in that they are involved in sexual reproduction and contribute to genetic diversity in offspring.


How many chomosomes in your body?

In a normal Human body cell (not a gamete) there are 46 chromosomes. This is not the same number of chromosomes in our bodies, only in one cell, and there are trillions of cells in the human body. In a gamete (a sperm cell or egg cell) there are 23 chromosomes. When the sperm and egg cell nuclei fuse in fertilisation, a diploid cell of 46 chromosomes is produced.

A cell that provides the nuclear material for sexual reproduction?

A germ cell is a cell that provides the nuclear material for sexual reproduction. These cells, such as sperms or egg cells, carry genetic information from each parent, which is essential for the creation of a new organism through fertilization. Germ cells have half the number of chromosomes of other body cells, allowing for genetic diversity in offspring.


Is muscle cell an example of a gamete cell?

A muscel cell is not an example of a gamete cell. A gamete cell is a reproductive cell that unite during sexual reproduction to form a new cell called the zygote. In males the sperm is the gamete cell and in females the ovum is the gamete cell.


How all the cell of the body contain the same genetic information?

Because each cell gets a copy of this information as it is created by cell division of the mother cell.


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).
