Gametes are produced by the type of cell division called meiosis. During meiosis the number of chromosomes are halved. So if a cell starts off with 2n chromosomes and divides by meiosis the new cells will end up with n chromosomes.

2n to n?
represents the diploid number of chromosomes turning into the haploid number of chromosomes during meiosis, in the production of gametes
When two cells with n number of chromosomes fuse what type of cell result?
A diploid cell. In other words, a cell containing 2n chromosomes.
Haploid cell comparison to a diploid cell?
A haploid cell is s germ cell that gives rise to gametes or sex cells in organisms that reproduce sexually. They contain the haploid number of chromosomes denoted by the letter n. In humans, n = 23 A diploid cell is a body cell that makes up tissues and organs. They contain diploid number of chromosomes denoted by 2n. In humans, 2n = 46
Referring to chromosomes what is the zygote?
The usual number of chromosomes in a baby's cell ( zygote ) is 46 . 23 chromosomes from both the male's reproductive cell ( sperm ) and the female's reproductive cell ( egg ) .
What is the difference between a haploid cell and a diploid cell-?
Haploid cells are n i.e. they have have numbers of chromosome while diploid cells are 2n i.e. they have full number of chromosomes.
2n to n?
represents the diploid number of chromosomes turning into the haploid number of chromosomes during meiosis, in the production of gametes
Process by which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut half used by organisms to produce gametes?
Meiosis takes a cell from 2N (Diploid) to N (haploid) and produces 4 daughter cells at 23 chromosomes. These are the sex gametes. A normal 2N cell would have 46 chromosomes.
The number of possible genetically different gametes for an organism equals 2N, where N is the number of pairs of chromosomes. If an organism has four pairs of chromosomes, how many different gametes can it produce?
16 (apex)
Which or these is true of meiosis n n n 2n 2n n 2n 2n?
Meiosis produces haploid gametes which have the ' n ' symbol.
The number of possible genetically different gametes for an organism equals 2N where N is the number of pairs of chromosomes. If an organism has four pairs of chromosomes how many differ?
32
Normal human gametes carry how many chromosomes?
For human, a gamete has 23 chromosomes.Sex cell = 23chromosomes (n)Body cell = 46 chromosomes (2n)
Why must gametes be haploids?
It must join with the other gamete to form a diploid number of chromosomes. If it had a diploid number to begin with, the result would be twice the normal amount of chromosomes. A normal cell had "2n" number of chromosomes, and each gametes have "n". If they had "2n" to begin with, the resulting zygote would have "4n", which is clearly not normal in human genome.
The number of possible genetically different gamete for an organism quals 2n where n is the number of pairs of chromosomes if an organism has six pairs of chromosomes how man different gametes can it?
64 - Apex
Is the diploid symbol 2n?
Gametes are 2n which means that they are two distinct types of morphological gametes. These are the ones that will determine the sex.
Is a gamete 2N or N?
A gamete is N (39 chromosomes in the cell) while a body cell is 2N (78 chromosomes; full set).
Where are the human cells with 46 chromosomes found?
In humans, the diploid number (or 2n) is 46. Somatic cells contain 2n number of chromosomes. Somatic cells are those that make up the body. Every cells that makes up every organ contains 2n number of chromosomes. Gametes (or sex cells) contain haploid (n) number of chromosomes
How many chromosomes are at the end of meiosis II?
A diploid organism have: 2n chromosome after meiosis 1, the gametes would still have 2n as DNA replication occured Meiosis 1 can be assumed to be the same process as Mitosis. after meiosis 2, the gametes would have n (1/2 of 2n), as the second meiosis would not include any form of DNA replication.
