Answer:

There will be 23 chromosomes in a sperm cell, 23 chromosomes in an egg cell, and 46 chromosomes in a white blood cell

Explanation:

Human cells are diploid in number i.e they exists in two basic sets (2N =46, where N is 23). So, cells of human body such as blood cells like white blood cells have two basic sets of chromosomes i.e 46 chromosomes, since they are produced by mitosis.

On the other hand, cells of humans involved in sexual reproduction such as the gametes (sperm and egg) have only one set of chromosomes since they are produced by meiosis - so they are haploid (N =23).

Answer:

Sperm=23

Egg cell=23

White blood cell=46

Explanation:

During cell division Meiosis produce haploid number of gametic chromosome 23.

The somatic cell contains 46 chromosome i.e diploid chromosome number. During cell division in meiosis gametes cells contains haploid number-23 chromosome which is half of the somatic cell chromosome.

During conjugation, haploid chromosome is donated by each parent to give a diploid organism with 46 chromosome number.

White blood cell contains 46 chromosome because it doesn't undergo cell division it is a somatic cell.

iVinArrow [24]
Well everyone's needs for love and attention are different. It can depend on how you were raised, if you received a lot of attention as a kid, etc. Humans are social creatures so we already crave human interaction. and, going back to how you were raised, even if you were raised quite well and you got enough attention as a kid, it really depends on how people treated you and maybe how many times you've had your heart broken or something along those lines. That need honestly varies from person to person. But I know how it feels, you'll get through it, you'll be okay.

Why can't nonmetals conduct electricity?
Verizon [17]
<span>Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical nonmetals have a dull, colored or colorless appearance; are brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides.</span>
