what is the number of chromosomes in a gamete?
253677
In humans, gametes are haploid cells that contain 23 chromosomes, each of which a one of a chromosome pair that exists in diplod cells. The number of chromosomes in a single set is represented as n, which is also called the haploid number. In humans, n = 23.

The number of chromosomes in a single set is represented as n, which is also called the haploid number. In humans, n = 23. Gametes contain half the chromosomes contained in normal diploid cells of the body, which are also known as somatic cells.

A human gamete has one sex chromosome. Human gametes, or sex cells, are haploid cells that contain 23 chromosomes total: 22 autosomes and exactly one...

As given above, gametes are by definition haploid, regardless of the actual number of sets of chromosomes they contain. An organism whose somatic cells are tetraploid (four sets of chromosomes), for example, will produce gametes by meiosis that contain two sets of chromosomes.

Haploid describes a cell that contains a single set of chromosomes. The term haploid can also refer to the number of chromosomes in egg or sperm cells, which are also called gametes. In humans, gametes are haploid cells that contain 23 chromosomes, each of which a one of a chromosome pair that exists in diploid cells.

If you know the haploid number for an organism, you can calculate the number of possible combinations in the gametes. The possible combinations are equal to 2n, where n is the haploid number. For the organism in Figure 9-18, n = 2, so the number of chromosome combinations is 22, or 4.

Human somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, including 22 homologous pairs and one pair of nonhomologous sex chromosomes. This is the 2n, or diploid, condition. Human gametes have 23 chromosomes, one each of 23 unique chromosomes.

How many chromosomes do normal mice zygotes contain? Normal mice gametes contain 20 chromosomes.

*Meiosis results in the formation of gametes. Fertilization results in the formation of a zygote. All of the cells in the body, except for sperm and eggs, have 46 chromosomes.

In case of humans , there are 46 chromosome (2n) in each somatic cell .. during fertilization, two types of haploid ( n = 23 chromosome ) gametes ( sperm and ovum) fuse together to form a zygote(46 chromosomes) inside the female's body , that further develops produce an embryo.

A sperm cell contains 23 chromosomes with two possibilities for each chromosome. The possible number of sperm cells based on different chromosome combinations is (2)23 = 8,388,608.

During fertilization, gametes from the sperm combine with gametes from the egg to form a zygote. The zygote contains two sets of 23 chromosomes, for the required 46. Most women are 46XX and most men are 46XY, according to the World Health Organization. There are some variations, though.

In humans, the male gamete is called sperm, and the female gamete is called an egg. When the gametes join they form a cell called a zygote. Human sperm and eggs contain 23 chromosomes. Human zygotes contain 46 chromosomes.

In a human egg or sperm, there are 23 chromosomes, one of which is an X or Y. A human egg is haploid (has 23 chromosomes) and a sperm is haploid (has 23 chromosomes). Upon fertilization, the new baby now has the 'correct' human number of 46 chromosomes in each of its somatic cells.

The number of chromosomes is reduced from 46 (23 pairs) to 23 during the process of meiosis. Because they have only half the total chromosomes in a somatic cell, they are termed haploid (n).
14322
There are 8,324,608 possible combinations of 23 chromosome pairs. As a result, two gametes virtually never have exactly the same combination of chromosomes. Each chromosome contains dozens to thousands of different genes.

In humans, gametes are haploid cells that contain 23 chromosomes, each of which a one of a chromosome pair that exists in diplod cells.
