A fruit fly has diploid cells with 8 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are in its haploid gametes?

Gametes are cells involved in reproduction. In humans, these are the spermatozoon and ovum, or sperm and egg. When organisms reproduce, these two types of cells fuse together to form...

So in an animal with 32 (2n) chromosomes in somatic cell, number of chromosomes in sperm will be 16 (n).

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.

Platypus is an exceptional mammal to have so many number of sex chromosomes, i.e. 10 in each individual. Sex of the progeny is determined by the sperm as it may...

You are correct to say that they are called gametes. But they are not diploid. They are haploid. Both sperm and egg have only one half the number of chromosomes....

Diploid cells do not have a set number of chromosomes that depends on the . Diploid means that the chromosomes in the cell are in pairs ie two of each...

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...

They are formed from immature germ cells called spermatogonia. There are two types of spermatocytes called Primary spermatocytes and Secondary Spermatocytes. These spermatocytes are formed by a process called...

Given, number is $64$. Diploid number $(2n)=64$. Now, haploid number $(n)$ is half of the diploid number. Now, from the above equation $rarr$ $:.2n=64$. $:.n=64/2$. $:.n=32$. So, the Haploid number...

The sperm of the father, when it fuses with the egg, the embryo has 44 chromosomes. To find the number of chromosomes for each gamete, divide the total number by...
