Sperm and eggs have half as many chromosomes as other cells because they are Gametes which contain one set of chromsomes, as opposed to the regular two.
(The 2 join and you end up with a total of 46, total chromosome count for humans.)
Hope this helped.
Yes:
The sperm and egg cell each have half the set of chromosomes (which carry the DNA, or genetic info.), which is 23. When they combine, the fetus will have 46 chromosomes, the full amount for a human being. So yes, the reproductive cells carry all of the genetic information.
No. Not even all sperm cells of a single individual have identical chromosomes.
No. Egg cells and sperm cells have reduced number of chromosomes (23 chromosomes instead of 46).
Yes they both have 23 chromosones each
no
no
They contain the monoploid number of chromosomes.
gametes are sex cells that have haploid number of chromosomes. Sperm are the ones produced by males, or pollen in plants.
Body cells, like liver cells, are diploid. This means they have pairs of chromosomes. In this example the diploid number of chromosomes is 24. In sperm cells (or egg cells) the number of chromosomes is halved. This is described as the haploidnumber. In this example the haploid number would be 24/2 = 12. So the number of chromosomes in the sperm cells would be 12.
What we call gametes (egg or sperm cells) have half the number of chromosomes.
The number of chromosomes in sperm cells varies among organisms. Without knowing the specific organism mentioned above, it is not possible to determine the exact number of chromosomes in its sperm cells.

I assume you mean human egg and sperm cells. There is a haploid number of chromosomes in these cells. 23 chromosomes. n.
Sperm cells are essentially produced by the meiosis. So that you have half the chromosomes in the sperm cell.

All human cells , with the exception of sperm and egg cells, have the same number of chromosomes (46). Sperm and Egg cells have half that number.
Gametes have half the number of chromosomes that most cells in the organism have. Most human cells have 46 chromosomes, but eggs and sperm have 23 chromosomes each.

in humans the sperm and egg cells (gametes) have 23, half the number of chromosomes as in normal cells
I have the same queston
The cells that have a haploid complement of chromosomes are the gametes - the ovum and the sperm.
