How many chromosomes would be present in a zebra gamete after meiosis the zebra has 50 chromosomes in its diploid cells?

A gamete has half the number of chromosomes of the somatic (diploid) cell. Therefore a zebra gamete would have 25 chromosomes if 50 is the diploid number.

What process of nuclear division in which the number of chromosomes in certain cells is halved during gamete formation?
yes, gamete in human = 23 chromosomes....so two gametes meet...bam! 46 chromosomes...thus, you are half your mom and half your dad.
Know whether or not gametes have homologous chromosomes?
Gametes are said to have homologous chromosomes, if they have same genes arranged in same order. During gamete formation meiosis precedes, therefore, individual gamete does not have its homologous counterpart. After fertilization, in diploid nucleus, homologous chromosomes are restored.
How are haploid and diploid related to mitosis and meiosis?
Meiosis in simple terms is the process by which gametes (sperm and egg) fuse together to produce a fertilised egg. Haploid is a word that refers to how many chromosomes a certain cell has. In this case the gametes have a haploid number of chromosomes, which is half the number a normal cell has. A normal cell has a diploid number of chromosomes. So in meiosis the two gametes come together with their hapoid number of chromosomes each to create an egg that has a diploid (standard) number of chromosomes.
The number of chromosomes in a gamete of an organism is its what?
D. Be produced by meiosis
What cell begins meiosis and mitosis?
The process of meiosis always begins with diploid cells. The chromosomes in the cells divide, so the result is four haploid cells.
How can nondisjunction in meiosis result in a diploid gamete?
If all of the chromosomes fail to separate in meiosis, then nondisjunction can result in a diploid gamete. This is a type of chromosomal mutation. In animals, a zygote produced from the union of a mutated diploid gamete and a normal haploid gamete will have triploidy, which is lethal. In plants, this is not necessarily lethal.

An organism that reproduces sexually has a diploid number of 30 How many chromosomes will a gamete of this organism have?
A gamete has half the diploid number of chromosomes, so in this case, the gamete would have 15 chromosomes.
Which does not occur in mesiosis?
Meiosis? that is when one haploid cell devides into two diploid (gamete) cells, right? Whereas mitosis is complete cell repulation. Hence, I'd say the difference is that DNA synthesis (two lots of DNA) are present in mitosis, whereas the genetic information is split in meiosis. - hence 23 chromosomes in a gamete, not 46.

How many chromosomes are contained in a human male gamete cell?
In a gamete (sex) cell, there are 23 chromosomes. A gamete is a haploid, or n, whereas a somatic (normal) cell is a diploid, or 2n, and has 46 chromosomes.
The number of chromosomes in a gamete of an organism is its what?
D. Be produced by meiosis
What cell begins meiosis and mitosis?
The process of meiosis always begins with diploid cells. The chromosomes in the cells divide, so the result is four haploid cells.
What does meiosis produce in gamete?
Meiosis produces gametes which have only one set of chromosomes for that species.
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
What are haploid chromosomes?
haploid chromosomes are a set of chromosomes from one parent , half the total of diploid chromosomes.
