So before you go in for your oil change, dig out your ownerâs manual and see what it says. And when the mechanic slaps on a sticker that gives the next change date in 3,000 miles, ask questions. And then, go get the car washed. Thatâs one thing that always seems to be needed.
The somatic cells of an animal species contain a specific number of chromosomes that must be maintained for the cells to work properly. In humans, they each contain 46 chromosomes, which includes 22 pairs of homologous chromosomes and one pair that is non-homologous.
The cell is diploid (2n) so has 2 sets of chromosomes, each set having 23 chromosomes. One set of 23 chromosomes came from the father and one set of 23 chromosomes came from the mother. So a human somatic cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. Meiosis produces haploid gametes: sperm and ova.Gametes have only 1 set of chromosomes, so they have 1 set of 23 chromosomes ...he cell is diploid (2n) so has 2 sets of chromosomes, each set having 23 chromosomes.
