I want to know is anyone knows any of these science questions?
1. How many chromosomes are in a human?
2. How many cromosomes are in an egg or sperm?
3. How many chromosomes are in a potato?
4.How many cromosomes are in a potatoes sex cells?
5. How many cromosomes are in a Chimpanzee?
6. How many chromosomes are in a chimpanzee's sex cells?

I know all of them i was just seeing if all the people in the world know them! We reviewed it in school today. It is kinda funny that chimpanzees and potatoes have the same

1. How many chromosomes are in a human?
Ordinarily, 46 per non-gamete (somatic) cell.
Obviously, the total number of chromosomes in an entire human (or any other organism) depends hugely on how many total somatic and how many total gamete cells there are in that organism.
Note that the "total number of chromosomes" is not at all the same as "the total number of unique chromosomes."
2. How many cromosomes are in an egg or sperm?
Ordinarily, an unfertilized sperm or egg has half the number of chromosomes as the somatic (non-gamete cell) of the diploid organism being studied. For humans, the answer would be 23.
For a more through exploration of this, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_cell
3. How many chromosomes are in a potato?
Ordinarily, 48 per somatic cell.
4.How many cromosomes are in a potatoes sex cells?
None; however, the haploid number of chromosomes for potatoes is 24.
5. How many cromosomes are in a Chimpanzee?
None; however, the diploid number of chromosomes for chimpanzees is 24.
6. How many chromosomes are in a chimpanzee's sex cells?
Ordinarily, 24 per gamete.

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes (total of 46). Each egg or sperm contains 1 of each set - hence 23 total in each egg/sperm.

I will answer number one, to get you started, Humans have 46 chromosomes, 23 pairs. Now, use your book, not us, for answers.
PS IF your so smart, bad little girl, how come you answered AP Bio zygotes, the question just under this one, wrong. Be nice to your puppy and he will be nice to you.
