How many chromosomes does a gamete have?
Sperm cells, or gametes normally have 23 chromosomes each.
How many chromosomes are in each gamete?
Gametes carry half the number of normal chromosomes as a body cell. Since there are normally 46, this means there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete.
What determines which allele of each pair goes into a gamete?
The process of allele segregation during gamete formation is determined by the random assortment of chromosomes during meiosis. Homologous pairs of chromosomes separate independently, and each resulting gamete randomly receives one copy of each chromosome. This random assortment leads to the random segregation of alleles, determining which allele of each pair goes into a gamete.
How can a human with 47 chromosomes be produced?
This occurs due to nondisjunction, in which one or more homologous pairs of chromosomes do not separate during anaphase I, or sister chromatids do not separate properly during anaphase II of meiosis. The resulting daughter cells (gametes) will have either 22 or 24 chromosomes. If the gamete with 22 chromosomes unites with a normal gamete with 23 chromosomes, the offspring will have 45 chromosomes (23 + 22). If the gamete with 24 chromosomes unites with a normal gamete, the offspring will have 47 chromosomes (23 + 24). These are usually lethal conditions.
If an organism has 16 chromosomes in each of its egg cells the organisms diploid number is 32?
The gamete or haploid cell of an organism contains half as many chromosomes as a diploid body cell. An organism that has 32 chromosomes would produce a gamete with 16 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in peoples gametes?
Each gamete has only 23 chromosomes
How many chromosomes are present in unfertilized chicken eggs?
Unfertilized chicken eggs carry half of the needed chromosomes in order for fertilization. Every 26 hours, chickens create an egg and each egg has around 19 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes does a gamete have?
Sperm cells, or gametes normally have 23 chromosomes each.
How many chromosomes are in each gamete?
Gametes carry half the number of normal chromosomes as a body cell. Since there are normally 46, this means there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete.
How many autosomal are present in each human gamete?
There are 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome.There are 22 autosomes that are present in each human gamete.
What type of cellular reproduction reduces the number of chromosomes in each gamete?
meiosis :)
Why does a gamete only contain 23 in the human body?
You get the other 23 from the opposite sex. The semen and the egg combines and gets 46 chromosomes. If each gamete contained 46 chromosomes, the zygote would contain 92 chromosomes.
Does the male or female gamete contribute more chromosomes to the fertilized egg?
They each give the same amount. This is why we have pairs of chromosomes.

Each body cell of a chimpanzee contains 48 chromosomes how many cromosomes would normally be present in a gamete produced by this chimpanzee?
24 since a haploid is half of the diploid containing 48 chromosomes
How many chromosomes are in each?
Gametes carry half the number of normal chromosomes as a body cell. Since there are normally 46, this means there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete.
