22 chromosomes and the sex Y-chromosome making a total of 23
A human sperm contains 23 chromosomes, half the number of chromosomes found in a normal human cell. During fertilization, the sperm combines with an egg cell, which also contains 23 chromosomes, to form a new cell with a total of 46 chromosomes.
The human egg or sperm cell is haploid and contains 23 chromosomes. After fertilization (egg and sperm fusion), the zygote will have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
The head of the sperm contains 23 chromosomes. This is where the genetic material is housed, which combines with the egg's genetic material to form a complete set of 46 chromosomes in the resulting zygote.
The normal 2N complement....46 chromosomes in a human.
sperm
A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.
Each human egg actually contains 23 chromosomes, not 46. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, it brings another 23 chromosomes, resulting in the total of 46 chromosomes in a fertilized egg, which then develops into a human being.
A sperm cell contains 23 [unpaired] chromosomes.
23 singles. Actually, for the astute, there are 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome.
A human sperm cell typically contains 23 chromosomes, which is half of the total number of chromosomes found in most human cells (46 chromosomes). During fertilization, the sperm cell's 23 chromosomes combine with the 23 chromosomes from the egg cell to create a new individual with a complete set of 46 chromosomes.
A human egg/sperm cell has 23 chromosomes. When the sperm and egg fuse together,, the zygote (fertilised egg) contains 46 chromosomes. Scientists call this the diploid number, with the sperm/egg having a haploid number of chromosomes. This number varies between species.
A normal human leukocyte, or white blood cell, typically contains 46 chromosomes. This is the same number of chromosomes found in most cells in the human body, with the exception of sex cells (sperm and eggs), which have 23 chromosomes.
