What does it mean when you say 'The sperm and egg are Hapliod cells'?
haploid means only one set of chromosomes that is one chromosomes is present only one time sperm and egg are haploid means that their nucleus have only one set of chromosomes remember that gametes are always HAPLOID therefore egg and sperm are haploid
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.
After completeing meiosis 2human sex cells have a total of chromosomes?
No. A sperm cell and an egg cell released from an ovary contain half the chromosomes as other cells until the sperm enters the egg cell and its chromosomes join that of the egg. At that point the egg cell becomes a new individual with a full complement of chromosomes. In humans a person gets 23 chromosomes from the mother and 23 from the father for a total of 46.
What type of cells contain only one set of chromosomes instead of two?
Gametes, also called sex cells, or sperm and egg cells, contain only one set of chromosomes.
What type of cells are halpoid?
Haploid cells contain half the number of chromosomes as regular cells do. For example, a normal, or diploid, human cell contains 46 chromosomes, but a haploid cell will only contain 23. Most of the cells in your body are diploid cells, and only sex cells, egg or sperm, are haploid. The reason they are haploid is because when they join together to make an embryo, their DNA combines.
Which cells have only 23 unpaired chromosomes?
The only place you would be able to find a cell with 23 chromosomes would be in the sex cells (sperm cells of egg cells). There are 46 chromosomes in the human body. This is because when a sperm cell fertilises the egg cell, both with 23 single chromosomes, they join to make 46.

Has how many chromosomes withn the egg cells?
All human gametes (sex cells), which means egg cells and sperm cells, have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilises the egg, the 23 chromosomes from the egg cell and the 23 chromosomes from the sperm cell join to make cells with 46 chromosomes. In summary, all cells in the human body have 46 chromosomes, except sperm cells and egg cells, which have 23.
Do chromosomes only occur in egg and sperm cells?
No, chromosomes are present in almost all cells of an organism. However, they are most readily observed in egg and sperm cells during sexual reproduction because they contain a single set of chromosomes.

Walter suttons important observation was that chromosomes of the egg and sperm cells are located inside the?
nucleus
Why is it important that the sperm and the egg each have half the normal number of chromosomes?
If the fertilized egg does not have a normal number of chromosomes, this can leads to problems with the child later on. An example is Down syndrome, which is caused when chromosome 21 does not split properly.
How do the numbers of chromosomes in cells compare with the number of chromosomes in sex cells?
Cells typically have two sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent, while sex cells (sperm and egg cells) only have one set of chromosomes. This means that cells have a diploid number of chromosomes, while sex cells have a haploid number of chromosomes.
A pig has 38 chromosomes in each of its body cells how many chromosomes will be in each of the egg cells released by a female pig?
Sex cells are haploid cells, meaning that they have half the cells of body cells. If a pig has 38 chromosomes, then in its egg cells there will be 19 chromosomes. Also in a male pig there will be 19 in its sperm cells.
How many chromosomes have non somatic cell?
Non-somatic cells, such as germ cells (sperm and egg cells), have half the number of chromosomes compared to somatic cells. In humans, somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, while germ cells have 23 chromosomes.
