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.
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.
The chromosome number in each gamete will be 14, which is half of the diploid number. During meiosis, the diploid cell undergoes two rounds of cell division to produce four haploid gametes, each containing 14 chromosomes.
A gamete would be haploid, containing half the number of chromosomes compared to a diploid cell. Therefore, a gamete of this organism would be expected to contain 29 chromosomes.
Meiosis is the process of nuclear division in which the number of chromosomes in certain cells is halved during gamete formation. This reduction in chromosome number ensures that when two gametes combine during fertilization, the resulting zygote will have the correct number of chromosomes.

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 ovum is a haploid gamete. It contains one set of chromosomes (23 in humans) and is produced through meiosis from a diploid cell. When the ovum fertilizes with a sperm cell, it forms a diploid zygote with a full set of chromosomes.
A gamete of Drosophila has 2n chromosomes, which is the haploid number. Drosophila, like most organisms, has a diploid number of chromosomes in its somatic cells. During meiosis, gametes are produced with half the number of chromosomes to maintain the chromosome number in the species.
A gamete has half the diploid number of chromosomes, so in this case, the gamete would have 15 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.
The end result of meiosis is haploid daughter cells with chromosomal combinations different from those originally present in the parent. In sperm cells, four haploid gametes are produced.
The chromosome number in each gamete will be 14, which is half of the diploid number. During meiosis, the diploid cell undergoes two rounds of cell division to produce four haploid gametes, each containing 14 chromosomes.
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.
A gamete would be haploid, containing half the number of chromosomes compared to a diploid cell. Therefore, a gamete of this organism would be expected to contain 29 chromosomes.
Meiosis is the process of nuclear division in which the number of chromosomes in certain cells is halved during gamete formation. This reduction in chromosome number ensures that when two gametes combine during fertilization, the resulting zygote will have the correct number of chromosomes.
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.
