In the sex cells you only have half of the number of chromosomes- 23 instead of 46 which is what you have in your other body cells

This is because when the sperm fertilizes the egg, the two nuclei fuse together and the chromosomes combine so you then have the right number for normal body cells to develop in the baby.

How do the numbers of chromosomes in cells compare with the number of chromosomes in sex cells?

Cells typically have two sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent, while sex cells (sperm and egg cells) only have one set of chromosomes. This means that cells have a diploid number of chromosomes, while sex cells have a haploid number of chromosomes.


How does the number of chromosomes in a grasshoppers body cell compare to the number in its sex cell?
