No gametes or sex cells each have 23 chromosomes. Meaning that a sperm would have 23 chromosomes (not pairs) and an egg would have 23 (also not pairs), which are called haploid cells. So when united, they pair and have 23 pairs of chromosomes, or 46 chromosomes.

∙ 14y agoNo. Chromosome number varies with species. Gorillas have 48 chromosomes in their somatic cells, elephants have 56 while the bacterium Escherichia coli has only 1 chromosome.
Even in the human body, though, not all cells have 46 chromosomes. The gametes (sperm and egg cells) are haploid and contain 23 chromosomes (if they have correctly formed).

Sperm and eggs are different other cells in your body?
Yes, sperm and egg cells each only contain half a set of chromosomes, while all other cells contain a full set of chromosomes.
What type of cell has two sets chromosomes?
Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes. The body cells of animals are all diploid. Human diploid cells contain 46 chromosomes.
Human cell contains ---------- chromosomes12182646?
All human cells contain 46 chromosomes except for the sperm and egg cells which contain 23 each.
How many chromosomes do horses have in their parent cells?
A horse has 64 chromosomes arranged as 32 pairs.
What chromosomes are found in body cells but not sex cells?
Sex cells (better known as gametes) being product of meiosis have single set (haploid number) of chromosomes whereas body cells have diploid number. Thus, 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XY), thus 46 chromosomes are present in our body cells. The gametes (sex cells) contain only 23 chromosomes in each.
What do all diploid cells contain?
a full set of chromosomes
All cells in the human body start with how many chromosomes?
In terms of chromosomal number, there are two types of cells in the human body.Autosomes, or body cells, have 46 chromosomes (the diploid number)Allosomes, or sex chromosomes, have 23 chromosomes (the haploid number)
Do chromosomes contain the genetic information of the bacterial cell?
Yes, chromosomes (the DNA) contain the genetic blueprints for all cells.
Sperm and eggs are different other cells in your body?
Yes, sperm and egg cells each only contain half a set of chromosomes, while all other cells contain a full set of chromosomes.
What type of cell has two sets chromosomes?
Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes. The body cells of animals are all diploid. Human diploid cells contain 46 chromosomes.
The only haploid cells found in humans are?
Reproductive cells or sex cells of an organism contain haploid number of chromosomes. All other body cells (or somatic cells) contain diploid number of chromosomes
How many chromosomes in bone marrow?
Every cell has the same number of chromosomes (except for sex cells), based on the specific organism's species. Humans have 46 chromosomes in each nucleus, and their sex cells have 23.
Which cell contain 46 chromasomes?
All of them (in humans), apart from sperm and egg cells (which contain 23)
Human cell contains ---------- chromosomes12182646?
All human cells contain 46 chromosomes except for the sperm and egg cells which contain 23 each.
How many chromosomes does a sperm or egg have?
Gametes Have 23 Single Chromosomes, this means at fertilisation the pairs join together to make 23 pairs of Chromosomes. This is because Gametes are unspecialised cells so don't need all the Chromosomes that specialised cells have.
Does a cheek cell contain the same chromosomes as a liver cell?
Yes. In an individual, almost all cells contain DNA (Red Blood Cells do not). That DNA is tightly wound like you would twist a drawstring, and kept tightly coiled as chromosomes. Since chromosomes can be found in a cheek cell, a liver cell (hepatocyte), and almost all other cells, they all contain the same chromosomes, which inevitably have the same genes. What makes cheek cells different from liver cells is which genes are turned on and off. Cheek cells have different genes turned on compared to liver cells.
How many chromosomes do horses have in their parent cells?
A horse has 64 chromosomes arranged as 32 pairs.
