Certain type of diploid cell contains 58 chromosomes How many chromosomes would you expect a gamete of this organism to contain?
29
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 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 contains the chromosome?
the organelle that contains the chromosomes would be the nucleus. Inside of the nucleus where the actual chromosomes are is the nucleolus.
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.

How many sets of chromosomes are found in an organism gametes?
In organisms where meiosis occurs to create gametes, sex cells are made to have half as many chromosomes as regular body cells have. For example, a human man's sex cell or gamete would have 23 chromosomes and the non-sex cells in his body (the ones that aren't produced in his testes) would contain 46 chromosomes. This is for the purpose of creating progeny that have an increased variety of genetic information. This is possible because the male gamete combines with the female gamete to create a whole new organism with a new combination of genetic information that has the correct number of chromosomes.
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.
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 would a tetraploid potato gametic cell contain?
The gamete would contain half the number of chromosomes as the tetraploid parent cell.
What contains the chromosome?
the organelle that contains the chromosomes would be the nucleus. Inside of the nucleus where the actual chromosomes are is the nucleolus.
What best describes a gamete?
a haploid cell produced by meiosis apex

If the gamete with 24 chromosomes unites with a normal gamete, the offspring will have 47 chromosomes (23 + 24). These are usually lethal conditions.
How could a zygote be produced with an XYY karyotype?
An XYY zygote can be formed if a pair of sex chromosomes fails to separate during meiosis, so the gamete formed has both the X and Y chromosomes. This gamete would then meet the other gamete from the other cell that would contain a Y sex chromosome. The resulting zygote that is formed would have XYY sex chromosomes. This abnormalty where there is an extra chromosome or is missing a chromosome is called nondisjunction.
What is the chromosome number of gamete?
They have half the number of the somatic (parent) cell. So if a parent cell had 46 chromosomes in its nucleus, then its gamete would have 23(one chromosome from each pair).
