Best Answer

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.

If the liver cell of an animal have 24 chromosomes how many chromosomes do its sperm cells have?

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.
