Half the number that are in the adults normal body cells
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.
All human cells , with the exception of sperm and egg cells, have the same number of chromosomes (46). Sperm and Egg cells have half that number.
There are 23 chromosomes in human egg/sperm. In other human body cells there are 46 chromosomes.
all cells of body except egg and sperm have 23 pairs of chromosomes i.e. 46...but egg and sperm have 23 chromosomes
I assume you mean human egg and sperm cells. There is a haploid number of chromosomes in these cells. 23 chromosomes. n.
Except in the egg and sperm, all cells are somatic cells and have the normal number of chromosomes.
the haploid cells or the gammet cells are also known as the reproductive cells in animals, they are also known as the sex cells
Each gamete (or egg/sperm cell) has 23 chromosomes. So both egg & sperm cells have 23 chromosomes, however because gametes undergo meiosis the chromosomes are haploids so they don't look like X's. So they are not actually in pairs, as just eggs & sperm. They pair up once an egg is fertilized.
In the nucleus of the cells
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.
Each parent donates 23 chromosomes to fertilization process however only the male can determin the sex.
No, sex cells just have 1/2 the chromosomes of the rest of cells.
