A human sperm cell carries half the number of chromosomes as a somatic cell, contributing 22 autosomes and either an X or a Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is essential for determining male characteristics, making the cell a sperm.
A trisomic human cell would contain 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46. This is because one extra chromosome is present in one of the pairs.
It is not possible to provide a complete list of nucleotide sequences on an individual's chromosome in a single answer, as each chromosome contains millions of nucleotides. The human genome has over 3 billion base pairs, which make up the DNA on 23 pairs of chromosomes. The sequence can vary between individuals due to genetic variations.
The chance that a human zygote will receive one X and one Y sex chromosome during fertilization is 50 percent. This is because an individual inherits one sex chromosome from each parent, with the father contributing either an X or a Y chromosome, and the mother contributing an X chromosome.
Many sex-linked genes are found on the X chromosome. More than 100 sex-linked genetic disorders have now been mapped to the X chromosome. The human Y chromosome is much smaller than the X chromosome and appears to contain only few genes.

In humans the male sperm contains EITHER an X chromosome, or a Y chromosome since human gametes are haploid (n) in chromosome number.
The presence of a Y chromosome.
The sex chromosome typically carried by an ovum is X-chromosome. The sperm may carry either x or y sex chromosome.
You have about 20,000 to 25,000 genes in 23 chromosomes in human cell. So approximately 1000 genes are there in any single chromosome. The gene will be too big in size, if you have one single gene in any single chromosome.
A human sperm cell carries half the number of chromosomes as a somatic cell, contributing 22 autosomes and either an X or a Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is essential for determining male characteristics, making the cell a sperm.
Human sperm cells contain 23 chromosomes, including one sex chromosome (either X or Y), whereas human ova contain 23 chromosomes, including one X sex chromosome. This difference in sex chromosomes contributes to the genetic diversity of offspring.
well if human chromosomes number 21 does not separate during fertilization the baby will be with down syndrome. at fertilization of the egg with a normal sperm the zygote contain three chromosome number 21 (trizomic 21) hence the zygote contain 47 chromosome instead of 46.
The number of genes varies from chromosome to chromosome and the number of chromosomes varies from species to species (from as few as 1 single chromosome per cell to as many 30,000 chromosome pairs per cell). Human cells have 23 chromosome pairs per cell.
The male human is represented by a sex chromosome consisting of one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (XY).
All human female egg cells contain X chromosomes, each cell only contains one chromosome. The male sperm cells can contain either an X or a Y chromosome (one or the other, not both). That is what determines the sex of the child, two Xs and its a girl, one x and one y and its a boy. -X
there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete
