A human sperm cell and an egg cell each normally carry 23 chromosomes each. Humans have a total of 46 chromosomes, and that is what you get when you add a sperm cell and an egg cell together.

What is the probabitily that a human sperm cell will carry an x chromosome?
50%
Why is a human cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome a sperm?
Human somatic (body) cells contain two sets of 23 chromosomes. Human gametes (sperm and egg cells) contain one set of 23 chromomes -- 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. Only a sperm cell can carry a y chromosome. A sperm cell can also carry an x chromosome. The ovum can carry only an x chromosome, never a y chromosome. So a cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome must be a sperm cell.
Do the human sperm and egg cell each normally carry one third of the genetic information of the potential offspring?
No - they carry half of the genetic information. The new offspring will have half their genetic information from each parent. Therefore sperm and egg cells carry half the amount of genetic material found in normal cells.
How many chromosomes does a human cell have normally?
A normal human body (somatic) cell normally has 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23). A normal human gamete (sperm or ovum) has 23 chromosomes.
What is the probability that a human sperm cell Will carry a X chromosome?
The answer will vary from person to person. It will depend on the individual as well as his age.
What does a sperm cell work as in the human body?
Sperm cell nutures the sperm and helps protect the spermatozoa.
In what type of human cell is the chromosome number 23?
No, there are 46 chromosomes in the human body cell. However, there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete cell.
How does fertilization take place in a human?
the sperm cell unites with the egg and the egg and sperm cell combine and become a human being
How much genetic information of the potential offspring does a human sperm and egg cell normally carry?
Each sperm and egg carries one-half of the genetic information necessary to produce offspring.For plato usersD)one halfEach sperm and egg carries one-half of the genetic information necessary to produce offspring.
How many chromosomes are seen in a human sperm cell but not in a human blood cell?
23
How does the human life begin?
With a sperm cell and a egg cell.
How does fertilization take place in human beings?
the sperm cell unites with the egg and the egg and sperm cell combine and become a human being
