In both an egg cell and a sperm cell, there are 23 chromosomes. The sperm and egg unite (fertilize) to create a zygote (fertilized egg). A zygote has 46 chromosomes. This is important because if a sperm and/or an egg cell have 1 more or 1 less chromosome, a mutation could form in the zygote.

Is it important that new skin cells have 46 chromosomes?
Yes. All healthy cells, except for reproductive cells, need 46 chromosomes to function properly.
What do Reproductive cells contain half the number of?
Reproductive cells, also known as gametes, contain half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in the body. This is because during sexual reproduction, gametes from two parents combine to form a new individual with a complete set of chromosomes. In humans, for example, gametes contain 23 chromosomes each, while most other cells in the body have 46 chromosomes.
If a body cell has 22 chromosomes what would be the chromosomes what would be the chromosomes count for the reproductive cells?

Which cells are reproductive?

How many chromosomes are in a human nerve cell?
Humans have 46 chromosomes in their nerve cells, unless they have a chromosomal disorder. With the exception of the reproductive cells, which only carry half the chromosomal DNA, all human cells have the same amount of chromosomes.
What is the organ system Meisosis accures in?
Reproductive system. Meiosis is the formation of gametes which unlike regular cells have 23 unpaired chromosomes compared to regular cells which have 23 paired chromosomes or 46 total chromosomes, in humans that is.
The only haploid cells found in humans are?
Reproductive cells or sex cells of an organism contain haploid number of chromosomes. All other body cells (or somatic cells) contain diploid number of chromosomes
How many chromosomes should a girl have?
Each of her cells should have 46 chromosomes, with the exeption of reproductive cells. Those have 23 chromosomes.
Why do reproductive cells need to have half the normal number of chromosomes?
Humans and other organisms that reproduce sexually need to have half the normal number of chromosomes to make sure their offspring have the same number of chromosomes as they do - the father and mother each contribute half of their chromosomes (sperm and egg).
