23, there are 23 chromosomes in human gametes
Gametes are haploid cells because they only contain half of the chromosomes of a diploid cell. For example, a human somatic (diploid) cell contains 46 chromosomes. Therefore, a haploid cell contains 23 chromosomes.
represents the diploid number of chromosomes turning into the haploid number of chromosomes during meiosis, in the production of gametes
Meiosis reduces number of chromosomes to one half . when two gametes fuse , it restores original diploid number of chromosomes .With out this diploid number of chromosomes could not be maintained .
Meiosis creates four haploid cells, or gametes, from one diploid cell. Each gamete contains half of the chromosomes theorganismusually has. Gametogenesis creates mature gametes, being able to reproduce.
Gametes have half the number of chromosomes - therefore if the diploid number is 22, the gametes would have 11 chromosomes.
When a zygote is diploid it obtains two sets of chromosomes. Gametes contain one set of chromosomes. Therefore, 6 chromosomes would amount to 3 sets of gametes.
When a zygote is diploid it obtains two sets of chromosomes. Gametes contain one set of chromosomes. Therefore, 6 chromosomes would amount to 3 sets of gametes.
diploid is what the total number of chromosomes in an organism is
23, there are 23 chromosomes in human gametes

They merge.
If the somatic (normal) cell has 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 38. If the gametes (sperm and ovum/egg) have 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 76.
Gametes, such as eggs and sperm, are haploid, not diploid. Diploid would be somatic cells, such as skin cells or brain cells.
gametes are haploid (half the normal number of chromosomes)
If gametes were diploid, that would mean the zygote would get 46 chromosomes (in humans that is) from his father and 46 chromosomes from his mother, that would add up to 92.
This is a diploid number, and all cells except gametes/ sex cells which have a haploid or half this number. Red blood cells have no chromosomes at all.
