Sex cells differ from body cells in that they do not have?

Sex cells (sperm and egg) differ from body cells in that they do not have a full set of chromosomes. Sex cells are haploid, meaning they only have one set of chromosomes, while body cells are diploid, with two sets of chromosomes. This difference allows sex cells to combine during fertilization to create a genetically diverse offspring.


How are sex cells different from any other cells in the body?

Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes that almost all other cells in the body have. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes in body cells, but only 23 in egg cells and sperm cells. This is because, in sexual reproduction, you get half your genes from your mother and half from your father and 23+23=46 total chromosomes.
