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 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 sex chromosomes are contained in a female body cell?

Female cells contain the sex chromosomes XX. A female gamete (ovum/egg) contains one X chromosome.


Human body cells have 23 pairs of?

Chromosomes (autosomes), not including the sex chromosomes (XY - male, or XX - female).

How does the number of chromosomes in gametes of an organism that reproduces sexually differ from the numbers of chromosomes in other cells?

Unlike somatic (body) cells, gametes have two time the number of chromosomes as body cells. Gametes (2n). Body cells (n). For example, human 46 chromosomes in gamete cells but half of that (23) in body cells.


Why do female and male sex cells have fewer chromosomes than the body cells?

The Y chromosome is found in males only. Females have XX chromosomes whereas males have XY chromosomes. That is why they are different, because an XY cannot be female and an XX cannot be male.


What kind of chromosomes do the body cells of humans have?

All Human Body Cells, also called somatic cells, have 46 chromosomes. These 46 occur is 23 pair. The first 22 pair are called autosomes. The 23rd pair are the sex chromosomes, xx for female, xy for male.

How do body cells and sex cells differ?

Human cells have 46 chromosomes (call that 2n, or 2 times n). Now then, if an egg cell + sperm cell = fertilized egg (which becomes a human), how many chromosomes do each have? An egg cell must have 23 chromosomes, and a sperm cell must have 23 chromosomes, because 23 + 23 = 46. When the egg (23) and sperm (23) combine to form a fertilized egg, this egg will now have 46 chromosomes. So human sex cells have n, or 23 chromosomes. If you mean to distinguish somatic chromosomes from sex chromosomes, then you have 22 pairs of somatic chromosomes plus one pair of sex chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.


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.


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.
