how many cells are in a section of hair?

Hair is made of protien, the only cells are in the root.

sex cells. they only have half the nomal number of chromosomes.

Considering that I am balding, some are completely bald, and some have LOTS of hair, I'd say the answer is quite subjective.\n\nSo, depending on your hair color, the averages are as follows:\nBLONDE - 140,000 strands \nBROWN - 110,000 strands \nBLACK - 108,000 strands \nRED - 90,000 strands\nBALD - 0-5 strands

Unfortunately there isnt any average cell-as said before, there is variation from minutes, in the case of some immune and germ cells, to never in the case of most neurons.  But, to give you a way to answer your homework, you can say a hypothetical cell takes 24 hours to divide-there are quite a few cell types that take about this long, so you would be safe choosing this time.

On the average there are over one hundred thousand strands of hair on a young adult. Blondes average about 140,000 strands, brunettes average 108,000 and redheads average 90,000. Hair grows at a rate of about 150mm a year and each individual hair lasts for two to six years before it falls out, the follicle has a rest for a while, while another takes its place. Hair grows quickest in young adult women aged between sixteen and twenty-four (who are often then at the height of their possible reproductive capacity)

Neither.\nThey are composed largely of keratin, very closely related to the keratin found in skin.  They are made up of cells, but living ones, not dead.

To understand hairs,we should see the formation of hairs first.These are the dead cell proteins formed in capilarry forms like bio-nanomaterials and carry the unwanted inorganic or surplus salts and radicals out of our body to finish their reentry in system or to throw them out.These are more at soft skin places as it is easy for them to protude there and at hard skin they cannot come out and take shapes of dead skin/hard skin.

A human parental cell (or germ cell) has 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs (2n).
603531
A body cell has all of the DNA    A sex cell has only half of the DNA

They all have limits it's just that some are longer then others and it depends on the person. Some peoples hair will grow longer then others.

average adult human body is made up of "50 million million" (50 trillion) cells.
1040575
the neucleus of every cell contains chromatophores containing the DNA strands, these change into chromatin fibres. Every cell of a human contains 46 pairs of these.

Interestingly enough, when you cut pubic hair, arm or armpit hair or shave legs, the hair grows back to exactly the same length as it was before!\n\nHair follicles in those areas are programmed and have on and off activation.

Small follicles in epidermis produce hair.All these undergo formatting in a three stage cycle.Anagen is a period when hair grows actively,Catagen is a period when growth rate slows down and finally Telogen is the period of rest at the end of which the hair falls out and new hair starts growing in the follicle.Hairs on the head have the longest anagen period of four to eight years and have two to four months of rest stage allowing the hairs to grow to max.length.Hairs on eyelashes,armpits,pubic region,legs and other parts of body have growth periods of one to six months followed by a two to four months period of rest.That is why these hairs grow faster and reach a stubby fixed length.Animal hair is known as fur and only human hair which mother nature so exquisitely programmed irrespective of gender difference is a hairy (knotty or naughty as you view it)problem and a constant source of worry to retain as wanted and remove as unwanted.

There are many different kinds of cells. Eukaryotic (mostly all animal, fungi, and plant cells), Prokaryotic (bacteria), and then there are specialized cells in most organisms. I.E. storage cells, bacteria-fighting cells, hormone producing and recieving cells. I am not sure that there is a set number of different kinds. However, the Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic division is the beginning of differentiation among all cells. It is used to help differentiate different kingdoms of organisms.
