All human gametes (sex cells), which means egg cells and sperm cells, have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilises the egg, the 23 chromosomes from the egg cell and the 23 chromosomes from the sperm cell join to make cells with 46 chromosomes.
In summary, all cells in the human body have 46 chromosomes, except sperm cells and egg cells, which have 23.
Except in the egg and sperm, all cells are somatic cells and have the normal number of chromosomes.
There are 23 chromosomes in human egg/sperm. In other human body cells there are 46 chromosomes.

No, sex cells just have 1/2 the chromosomes of the rest of cells.
A human egg/sperm cell has 23 chromosomes. When the sperm and egg fuse together,, the zygote (fertilised egg) contains 46 chromosomes. Scientists call this the diploid number, with the sperm/egg having a haploid number of chromosomes. This number varies between species.
There are 46 chromosomes in your body cells. The egg cells have half the amount of chromosomes as the body cells, so there are 23 chromosomes in the egg cells.
Sex cells are haploid cells, meaning that they have half the cells of body cells. If a pig has 38 chromosomes, then in its egg cells there will be 19 chromosomes. Also in a male pig there will be 19 in its sperm cells.
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.
Body cells are diploid, which means they have two sets of chromosomes. Sex cells, both egg and sperm cells, are haploid, which means they have one set of chromosomes. So if the body cells have 56 chromosomes, the unfertilized egg would have 28 chromosomes.
Except in the egg and sperm, all cells are somatic cells and have the normal number of chromosomes.

Half the number that are in the adults normal body cells
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.
There are 23 chromosomes in human egg/sperm. In other human body cells there are 46 chromosomes.

all cells of body except egg and sperm have 23 pairs of chromosomes i.e. 46...but egg and sperm have 23 chromosomes
No, sex cells just have 1/2 the chromosomes of the rest of cells.
