there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete
Human gametes carry half the genetic information of an individual.
Humans have forty-six chromosomes so a human gamete has twenty-three pairs.
gamete
The gamete is supposed to join with another gamete, and combine their chromosomes into a single cell.

Gametes normally contain only one set of chromosome – this number is called Haploid.

An XYY zygote can be formed if a pair of sex chromosomes fails to separate during meiosis, so the gamete formed has both the X and Y chromosomes. This gamete would then meet the other gamete from the other cell that would contain a Y sex chromosome. The resulting zygote that is formed would have XYY sex chromosomes. This abnormalty where there is an extra chromosome or is missing a chromosome is called nondisjunction.
Gametes (sperm and eggs) contain only one sex chromosome.

They have half the number of the somatic (parent) cell. So if a parent cell had 46 chromosomes in its nucleus, then its gamete would have 23(one chromosome from each pair).
