23 in both Egg Cells and Sperm Cells.

It gives one of the gametes an extra chromosome and leaves the other gamete with one less chromosome.
The human gametes are Male gametes are sperm and female gametes are eggs. And the gametes chromosome numbers are 42.
answer is B 23
Gametes only have one of each chromosome, whereas somatic cells have a pair.
There are half as many chromosomes in gametes than in normal body cells.
Gametes only have one set of each chromosome pair so that when two gametes come together, the chromosome number in the embryo is correct. There are 19 autosomes and one sex chromosome in the mouse gamete.
Since the gametes contain one half the number, the zygote will have to have the full number of 40.

2^n possible combinations
In humans the male sperm contains EITHER an X chromosome, or a Y chromosome since human gametes are haploid (n) in chromosome number.
Gametes are haploid cells which means they have only half the normal number of somatic cell (diploid). Somatic cells have 46 chromasomes, organised into 23 pairs, and gametes have only one chromasome from each pair.
