In a normal Human body cell (not a gamete) there are 46 chromosomes. This is not the same number of chromosomes in our bodies, only in one cell, and there are trillions of cells in the human body. In a gamete (a sperm cell or egg cell) there are 23 chromosomes. When the sperm and egg cell nuclei fuse in fertilisation, a diploid cell of 46 chromosomes is produced.
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.
A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.
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.
It has 23 chromosomes.
too many.

23. There are 46 chromosomes in a human, half from the egg and half from the sperm.
The human egg or sperm cell is haploid and contains 23 chromosomes. After fertilization (egg and sperm fusion), the zygote will have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
The human sperm cell has 23 chromosomes. White blood cells have 46 chromosomes. Mature red blood cells to not contain a nucleus, and therefore has no chromosomes. Platelets are cell fragments and also do not contain nuclei.
There is no such thing as a 'cell' in a 'cell'.There are Chromosomes in a cell. There are 46 chromosomes in 1 cell.If you have a baby the sperm cell will only contain 23 chromosomes because you are making another human, when the child is grown up the sperm cell will go back to 46 chromosomes.
There are 23 chromosomes in each the sperm and the egg. When they fuse, the resulting embryo will have 46 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.
Humans have 46 chromosomes. This means they will produce sex-cells (sperm and ovum/egg) which have 23 chromosomes.
A sperm cell contains 23 [unpaired] chromosomes.
