Yes, that is how babies get DNA
The number of chromosomes found in either and egg of sperm is half the number of chromosomes found in a normal cell of the organism. For example, if you are thinking of a human sperm or egg cell is would be 23 chromosomes, since the normal human cell has 46.
There are 23 chromosomes in each the sperm and the egg. When they fuse, the resulting embryo will have 46 chromosomes.
The cells that have a haploid complement of chromosomes are the gametes - the ovum and the sperm.

how many chromosomes are found in the body of a horse
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.
A sperm cell will have 23 chromosomes, half the number found in a somatic cell. So, if there are 13 pairs of homologous chromosomes in the parental cell, there would be 26 chromosomes in the parental cell, but the sperm cell would have 23 individual chromosomes.
Both normal human eggs and sperm contain 23 chromosomes, which is half of the total number of chromosomes found in other body cells. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, their combined 46 chromosomes create a new organism with a complete set of 46 chromosomes.
A turkey has 80 chromosomes, so its sex cells will have 40 chromosomes.
A dog sperm cell typically contains 39 chromosomes, which is half the number of chromosomes found in a normal dog cell. When a sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell, the resulting zygote will have a full set of 78 chromosomes.
Sperm whales have 42 chromosomes in total. This includes 21 pairs of chromosomes.
Like all other cell types, chromosomes are found in nucleus only(head of the sperm). But the human sperm cell is haploid, so that its 23 chromosomes can join the 23 chromosomes of the female egg to form a diploid cell during fertilization.
