Most scientific investigations use some form of the scientific method. Find out more about the scientific method. Science as defined above is sometimes called pure science to differentiate it from applied science, which is the application of research to human needs.
There are 13 chromosomes in a frog gamete and 26 in a frog body cell.
The zygote is diploid, meaning that it contains two sets of chromosomes. Sex Chromosomes X-Y. The male gametes or sperm cells in humans and other mammals are heterogametic and contain one of two types of sex chromosomes. Sperm cells carry either an X or Y sex chromosome. Female gametes or eggs, however, contain only the X sex chromosome and are homogametic. The sperm cell determines the sex of an individual in this case. If a sperm cell containing an X chromosome fertilizes an egg, the resulting zygote will be XX or female.
