Human gametes have 23 chromosomes each, half of the total number of chromosomes found in regular human cells (which is 46). During fertilization, when a sperm and an egg combine, the resulting zygote will have a total of 46 chromosomes.
23
In human gametes, chromosomes are not paired. Instead, each gamete has one set of 23 chromosomes, and is said to be haploid.
Humans have 23 chromosomes in their gametes, which are sperm and egg cells. This is half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic cell, which has 46 chromosomes.
In an average somatic (body) cell, two. and in human gametes there is , one all chromosomes in human body is , 46 chromosomes. in normal female somatic cell is (44+XX) . in normal male somatic cell (44+XY) in normal female gametes (22+X) in normal male gametes (22+X) or (22+Y) .
Gametes are a specific class of cell, which contains chromosomes. Gametes are not a type of chromosome. Most cells in the human body are "diploid," which means they contain two copies of the 23 chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. Of those, two are sex chromosomes: classified as X or Y. Gametes, however, are reproductive cells: egg cells in the female, and sperm cells in the male. Gametes are "haploid," which means they only contain one copy of of the 23 chromosomes, and only one sex chromosome (an X in an egg cell, or an X or Y in a sperm cell).
It is different for different species but in Humans, each sperm (male gamete) has 23 chromosomes out of which 22 are autosomes and 1 is a sex chromosome.
Gametes, such as sperm and egg cells, have half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. Therefore, human gametes have 23 chromosomes each.
a human, gametes have 23. half the number of other cells
There are 23 chromosomes in each sperm produced by a human male.
Normal human gametes carry 23 chromosomes, which is half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic cell. During fertilization, a sperm cell with 23 chromosomes fuses with an egg cell, also with 23 chromosomes, to form a zygote with a total of 46 chromosomes.
The gametes must have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells because they unite to form a zygote, which is the first body cell of the new organism. For example, human body cells have 46 chromosomes and human gametes (sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the zygote will have 46 chromosomes, and is the first body cell of the new human.
