Please tell me, if the following is correct:
Reproductive cells have half set of DNA in their nucleus, therefore sperm cell and ova each have 23 chromosomes.
Somatic cells have full set of DNA in their nucleus, therefore muscle cell have 46 chromosomes.
Dear student,
Yes, the above information is correct. The somatic cells such as muscles cells have diploid no. of chromosomes. Gametes or sex cells have a haploid (23) no. of chromosomes.
Regards.
