It has 23 chromosomes. The fertilizing sperm has 23 as well so that together the resultant human has the normal 46 chromosome number.
23 in an unfertilized human egg cell. After its fertilized there are 23 pairs, as in normal human cells.
Humans have 46 chromosomes. This means they will produce sex-cells (sperm and ovum/egg) which have 23 chromosomes.
A normal human body (somatic) cell normally has 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23). A normal human gamete (sperm or ovum) has 23 chromosomes.
Female cells contain the sex chromosomes XX. A female gamete (ovum/egg) contains one X chromosome.
The ovum and spermatids are formed via meiosis (which occurs only in sex cells). From meiosis, four daughter cells are produced (in the female, three of these become polar bodies, rather than ova), each with 23 chromosomes (in humans) or the haploid number (n) in other organisms. This is significant as when fertilization occurs, the zygote (sperm + ovum) will have 46 chromosomes (or 23 pairs), the normal number for a human. So, both the ovum and spermatid are haploid sex cells (gametes), each with 23 chromosomes in humans.
2n= 24 therefore one set consists of 12 chromosomes.
23
spermatogenesis produces 4 sperm cells and oogenisis produces one ovum. Both have 23 chromosomes each
Chromosomes.
1 - it determines the sex if it fertilises the ovum
21 somatic chromosomes + 2 sex chromosomes (XX in an ovum or XY in a sperm).

Humans have 46 chromosomes. This means they will produce sex-cells (sperm and ovum/egg) which have 23 chromosomes.
The cells that have a haploid complement of chromosomes are the gametes - the ovum and the sperm.
A normal human body (somatic) cell normally has 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23). A normal human gamete (sperm or ovum) has 23 chromosomes.
Female cells contain the sex chromosomes XX. A female gamete (ovum/egg) contains one X chromosome.
Every cell has all the chromosomes (23 pairs) apart from sex cells -spermatozoa and ovum. These cells are termed haploid and have an unpaired 23 chromosomes.
The parents of a child who has Down syndrome each have the normal amount of chromosomes. The parents have 46, the child has 47.
