How many chromosomes are in a sperm cell from an animal whose somatic cells have 32 chromosomes (2n=32)? If 2n=32, how many chromosomes are in a haploid cell?
So in an animal with 32 (2n) chromosomes in somatic cell, number of chromosomes in sperm will be 16 (n).

Is it true that your somatic cells have chromosomes just like the ones in your dad's sperm and your mom's egg, but that those chromosomes are not so similar to the chromosomes that your dad had in his somatic cells? How can this be explained?
Somatic cells will be in diploid condition and Germ Cells will be in Haploid condition. So, Somatic cells cannot have chromosomes like those in the sperm or egg cell.

Why do developmental scientists believe that the male sex is associated with a higher cumber of sex-linked inherited disorders?
The female has two X chromosomes while the male has only one X chromosome. If there is a mutation on one X chromosome the female has another X chromosome that...

Which kind of cell can divide by mitosis, a germ cell or a somatic cell? What kind can undergo meiosis?
Mitosis is for growth and repair. One cell becomes two daughter cells with each containing 46 chromosomes and retains the exact feature of that cell. Meiosis is for reproductive cells....

Which of these correctly distinguishes mitosis from meiosis?
A) Mitosis occurs in germ cells and meiosis occurs in somatic cells.
B) Crossing over takes place in mitosis and not in meiotic cell division.
C) Meiosis produces four 2N daughter cells; mitos
Recall that somatic cells are body cells excluding the reproductive cells. For example, this includes cells of the liver, skin, stomach, but not of sperm or the human egg. In...

A cell under a microscope shows two daughter cells were formed and they are haploid. What stage of meiosis is the cell showing?
In meosis, the cell is divided twice. If you observed only 2 daughter cells, then it is cytokinesis after meosis 1. In animals, cytokinesis 1 occur by constriction and furrow...

Are all unicellular organisms haploid? If not, how do we know a cell is haploid or diploid?
All chromosomes are different in appearance as far as the length and position of centromere is concerned in haploid cells . Haploid number means a set of chromosomes which are...

If there are 32 sister chromatids in a normal somatic cell, what is the haploid number for that cell?
The sister chromatds are found in same chromosomes. Each chromosome has two sister chromatids joined at the centromere. The nuber of chromatids are double than the number of chromosomes. Thank...

How many chromosomes does a haploid human germ cell have?
Haploid means half of the normal. A normal human cell has 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of chromosomes. So a sex or germ cell has 23 chromosomes none...
