Since gametes are haploids, they would each contain haploid number of chromosomes, 15 chromosomes.

How do the number of chromosomes compare in gametes and somatic cells?
I will assume that you mean human cells. Somatic cells are diploid (2n), containing two sets of chromosomes, one of paternal, one of maternal origin. Gametes, on the other hand, are haploid (n), with a single set of chromosomes, ie. half as many as the somatic cell. Now, the haploid chromosome number (n) is characteristic of the species, and in humans this number happens to be 23. Therefore a human gamete has 23 chromosomes, and a human somatic cell 23 pairs, or 46 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are there in uterus cells?
There are 23 in both a sperm and egg cell. These unite to form a zygote, which has 46 chromosomes.
How many sex chromosomes does a human have?
In an average somatic (body) cell, two. and in human gametes there is , one all chromosomes in human body is , 46 chromosomes. in normal female somatic cell is (44+XX) . in normal male somatic cell (44+XY) in normal female gametes (22+X) in normal male gametes (22+X) or (22+Y) .
How many chromosomes are there in each somatic cell?
That depends on the organism you're looking at. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes per normal somatic cell. 46 chromosomes = 22 homolog pairs + 2 sex chromosomes (XX in women or XY in men)
How many chromosomes are in a human somatic cell?
46

How many choromosomes are in a human gamete?
Gametes are haploid cells, this means that they contain half the amount of chromosomes that a somatic cell contains. A normal somatic cell contains 46 chromosomes, while a haploid cell contains 23.
How many chromosomes are there in uterus cells?
There are 23 in both a sperm and egg cell. These unite to form a zygote, which has 46 chromosomes.
How many non-sex chromosomes are in a human?
A somatic or non-sex cell has 23 pairs or 46 total chromosomes. Sex cells or gametes have a total of 23 chromosomes.
How many sex chromosomes does a human have?
In an average somatic (body) cell, two. and in human gametes there is , one all chromosomes in human body is , 46 chromosomes. in normal female somatic cell is (44+XX) . in normal male somatic cell (44+XY) in normal female gametes (22+X) in normal male gametes (22+X) or (22+Y) .

How many chromosomes are in a mature somatic cell?
The number of chromosomes in a mature somatic cell depends on the species, but it is the diploid number (2X). In a human somatic cell, that number is 46.
How many chromosomes do frogs have in its gametes?
Frogs have 26 chromosomes in their somatic cells. A frog's sperm would be a haploid cell, meaning that the cell contains half the amount of chromosomes that it's somatic cells have. So a frog's sperm cell would contain 13 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are found in a somatic cell of an offspring?
In humans, the somatic cells of an offspring have 46 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in a human somatic cell?
46
How number of chromosomes in a cells compare to the number in its sex cells?
The human cell has 46 chromosomes. In the sex cell of a human it has one half that many. So 23 chromosomes from each parent. Different species have different number of chromosomes. This is why you do not have mixes such as a centaur.
How many pairs of autosomal chromosomes are in a human somatic cell?
There are 22 autosomal chromosomes in each human somatic cell and one sex chromosome.
