What is the difference between a body cell and a sex cell?
603531
A body cell has all of the DNA    A sex cell has only half of the DNA

mitosis is asexual reproduction, cells divide and reproduce replicating their own DNA exactly\n\nmeiosis is sexual reproduction, new cells contain only half of their original DNA, and half from a different parent source

Mitosis is the cell division that takes place in most type of cells. In this division the entire DNA of the cell is replicated. The original cell divides into two daughter cells. Mitosis gives rise to almost all the cells in the body. \nA different type of cell division called meiosis gives rise to sperm and eggs. Here the daughter cells have only half the number of homologous chromosomes. This is because on fertilization the sperm and oveum will combine to form the zygote which will develop into the baby. Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes by half, so in humans each sperm and each egg has only 23 chromosomes, including one chromosome from each pair of homologous chromosomes.

Men typically have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome in each diploid cell of their bodies. Women typically have two X chromosomes.

The normal number of chrom's in an adult human cell is 23 pairs (46 intotal). Insex cells it is 23 single chrom's. (23 in total). So without the sex chrom', the sex cell, wether the ovm or sperm, would have 22 chro's ie 23 - 1 = 22.

Actually, women do have them, they're called ovaries.       The tissue that goes on to become testicles in a male fetus develops into ovaries in a female fetus.  Both the ovaries in a female and the testicles in a male produce gametes (eggs vs. sperm) and hormones.

Women are, men are not.\n\nIn men, the cells that go through meiosis eventually go through special phases to duplicate over and over and over and over and over.  4 gametes (sperm) are created each time for each male cell undergoing meiosis.\n\nFor gametes in women, the process of meiosis leaves one feasable gamete and 3 polar bodies that are discarded.  There cannot be 2 gametes because the cytoplasm must be given to the feasable gamete, along with all the other "good stuff", as the female gamete (egg) must be capable of starting life.\nWomen are born with about 10,000 cells that are capable of going through meiosis, and that is all there will ever be within a woman's body for their whole lifespan.\n\nIf the either sex was born with the gametes "ready to go" most of them would age and die before they were ever used- resulting in the end of the species, as, for humans, sexual reproduction is begun relatively "late" in life.  So, any "ready to go" cells would die before they were used, being useless to the continuation of the species.\n\nCells usually die every 4 months approximately.  Really really.  Except for nerve cells.  But if those die, they're gone.

Eukaryotic cells have a definite nucleus, membrane bound organelles, usually larger in size (when compared to a prokaryotic cell), and certain eukaryotes are multicellular.\n\nProkaryotic cells do not have a definite nucleus, do not have membrane bound organelles, are much smaller in size (when compared to a eukaryotic cell), and are single celled.

chromosomes are what makes you they carry your genetic information eg hair colour eye colour, you have 46 chromosomes in each cell or 23 pairs, but in sex cells the egg and the sperm u have only 23 as they join up with the opposite sex cell to make 46. thats meitosis, miosis is the development of ordinary body cells, this is done so if for example you cut your self you body is able to repair itself, hope you understand this and it was useful for you :)

the result of mitosis is 2 daughter cells which are exactly like the mother cell and that is how regular cells in the body reproduce, but in meiosis you get 4 gaughter cells that each have half the genetic material of the mother cell, in fact meiosis is like a mitosis in the begining but the cell divide once more without doubling the DNA. the cells in the reproductive glands divide like this and make the sperm and the ovuum.

Haploid cell have only 1 set of Chromosomes(n) Some organisms, when they reproduce asexually, create other organisms, whose cell are haploid. But when they reproduce sexually, the resulting organism is diploid, meaning that it has two sets of chromosomes (2n), once from each parent.\n\nOvum is the female egg (gamete), before fertilization. An ovum is haploid. The zygote is an ovum that has been fertilized with a sperm. The zygote is diploid.\n\nA gene is a sequence in the DNA that codes for something in particular. Chromosome is the continuous strand of DNA, including genes and non-coding sequences.

A 'spermatozoon', 'spermatozoan', or 'sperm cell'.  (I believe that any of these is more correct than 'sperm'.)\n\nIncidentally, if it had an X chromosome, then it could either be a sperm cell or an egg cell (ovum).

First of all, gametes are produced only through meiosis and the location only occurs in the gonads(testes or ovaries). \n\nMitosis occurs all over the body for growth and repair while mitosis is for reproduction. Mitosis undergoes only one cell division to produce two identical daughter cells. Meiosis has 2 cell divisions producing 4 haploid daughter cells with mixed genes by synapsis and crossing over.

Sperm and Egg cells are different in a number of ways:\n1. They are haploid cells: that is, they have half the normal number of chromosomes;\n2. They are formed from meiosis: this is the immediate cause of #1;\n3. They are formed from spermatocytes and oocytes\n4. They can create a new member of their species.

I think one is the division of chromosomes and that is just a guess as for the other I assume that it has something to do with two sexes becoming one.

The cells that develope into a clitoris in females are the same cells that turn into the penis in males.  Indeed is acts in a similar way.  Keep in mind that developmental biology is not as exact as that.  But for the layman, lets just say that they come from the same clump of cells.  G-spots.  Two fingers in, with the thumb pointing to your nose.  In a "come-hither" fashion curl the fingers up until you feel a "node" or lump.  Its small, and very hard to find, but the motion will brush the spot.  At least you got the general area

since in multicellular organisms, the different functions are undertaken by different organs or tissues(as per the level of organism) the functions are more efficient\nsecond is the sexual reproduction
