How many number of chromosomes do hibiscus plant have?

There is no one number for Hibiscus. The amount ranges from 22 to 168. This is due to the large number of different types of Hibiscus types so this question is vague. I did find something for those interested in this question, try this website which has the counts for many types of Hibiscus and many other plants. http://www.malvaceae.info/Biology/Chromosomes.html


Does meiosis or mitosis have daughter cells with the same number and types of chromosomes as the mother cell?

In mitosis, daughter cells have the same number and types of chromosomes as the mother cell. In meiosis, daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as the mother cell and a unique combination of genetic material due to crossing over and independent assortment.


What is the cell that results from fertilization?

The Cell formed after fertilization is Diploid cell, containing 23 pairs of Chromosomes. Each, Ovum and Sperm contains half number of Chromosomes out of 23 pairs present in both parents. So you have half Chromosomes(23) coming from mother and half from Father. So there is mixing of the genetic material witch gives large number of different types of individuals to the the Nature.


What portion of the sperm cell contains the 23 chromosomes?

Like all other cell types, chromosomes are found in nucleus only(head of the sperm). But the human sperm cell is haploid, so that its 23 chromosomes can join the 23 chromosomes of the female egg to form a diploid cell during fertilization.


What types of cells are seen in chromosomes?

Cells are not found in chromosomes. Chromosomes are found in cells.


How many chromosomes will a human liver cell have when compared with a human nerve cell?

Both human liver cells and human nerve cells will have the same number of chromosomes, which is 46. This is because all body cells in humans (somatic cells) have the same number of chromosomes, which are inherited from the parents and not altered during differentiation into different cell types.


If a animal has 40 chromosomes in its skin cells how may will never in its kidney?

If an animal has 40 chromosomes in its skin cells, it will also have 40 chromosomes in its kidney cells. This is because all somatic cells in an organism typically have the same number of chromosomes, which is characteristic of that species. The number remains consistent across different types of cells, including skin and kidney cells.


What are the parts of sex chromosomes?

Sex chromosomes are primarily composed of two types: X and Y chromosomes. In humans, females typically have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The X chromosome carries a significant number of genes related to various functions, including those for sex determination and development, while the Y chromosome contains genes that are crucial for male sex determination and spermatogenesis. Together, these chromosomes play a key role in determining an individual's sex and influencing certain genetic traits.


What is the difference between haploid diploid and zygote?

There are two types of cells in the body - haploid cells and diploid cells. The difference between haploid and diploid cells is related to the number of chromosomes that the cell contains.


Is a monkey a diploid cell or haploid cell?

Monkeys have both diploid and haploid cells. Organisms produce these 2 general cell types. There are several differences between diploid and haploid cells. Diploid means it contains 2 complete sets of chromosome (2n). Haploid means the cell contains 1 st of chromosomes (n). Diploid cells are the result of mitosis while haploid cells is the product of meiosis. Every species has a different number of chromosomes.
