Structure of Chromosomes, Cell Cycle and Cell Division — Question 17
Back to all questions22 + X chromosomes
Reason — Chromosome number is halved in gametes (sex cells) so the female gamete/egg cell of a human cell will have 22 + X chromosomes.
Key Concepts Covered
This question tests your understanding of the following concepts from the chapter Structure of Chromosomes, Cell Cycle and Cell Division: Question, Female, Gamete, Egg, Cell, Human. These are fundamental topics in Biology that students are expected to master as part of the ICSE Class 10 curriculum.
A thorough understanding of these concepts will help you answer similar questions confidently in your ICSE examinations. These topics are frequently tested in both objective and subjective sections of Biology papers. We recommend revising the relevant section of your textbook alongside practising these solved examples to build a strong foundation.
