how many chromosomes do the sex sells have compared to the body cells? explain this is for science by the way
Mitosis is the process by which body cells divide to form two identical copies. Meiosis produces four sex cells (gametes) which contain 1/2 the genetic material of the original cell. Normal humans carry 46 chromosomes in each cell (2 copies of 23 chromosomes). hope this helps :)
Each parent cell gives 23 chromosome meaning a human has 46 chorosomes 1 or 2 choromsomes missing can lead to down syndrome or cicle cell anemia
