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.

The diploid body cells of a frog contains 26 chromosomes If these cells undergo mitosis how many chromosomes will be in each new cell?
There are 26 chromosomes in the somatic cells of the Leopard Frog.
If a squirrel normally has 40 pairs of chromosomes in its cells after mitosis occurs how many pairs of chromosomes would be in each of the squirrels body cells?
40
How many body cell chromosome number in a guinea pig?
Guinea pigs have 64 chromosomes in body cells and 32 chromosomes in sex cells.
What parts of your body does meiosis occur?
it occurs in the gametes, the sex cells. where mitosis occurs in all other cells that have two halves of chromosomes, meiosis occurs in cells which only have one half of the chromosomes.
What is a cell with paired chromosomes called?
Somatic (diploid) cells have pairs of chromosomes. They have 46 chromosomes, making 23 pairs. All the cells in the human body are diploid cells, with the exception of the gametes (sperm and ova).Gametes are sex cells (eggs and sperm), they only have 23 chromosomes total. This is because they will combine with another gamete to form an embryo that will have 46.
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.
Chromosome arrangement for body cells of 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.
Human body cells have 23 pairs of?
Chromosomes (autosomes), not including the sex chromosomes (XY - male, or XX - female).
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.
How are body cells different from sex cells?
Cause body cells have twice the chromosomes a sex cell has Body cells have 46 chromosomes and sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
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 did Sutton observe about the relative numbers of chromosomes in the body cells and sex cells of grasshoppers?
body cells of a grasshopper has 24 chromosomes and 12 chromosomes in the sex cells so as many body cell chromosomes you have you will have half that number of chromosomes in your sex cells.
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.
What produces cells that have half normal number of chromosomes found in body cells?
Meiosis, the division of sex cells, produces cells with half the number of chromosomes found in body cells. This is for a very simple reason - when a male sex cell and a female sex cell combine, they form one cell with the full number of chromosomes.
Wheat has 42 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are in their body cells?
The 'body' cells have 42 chromosomes. The sex cells would have 21 chromosomes. 3 X 7
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.
