∙ 15y agoIt depends on the species.
If, as in humans, the gametes are formed by meiosis, then the answer is: the gametes have half as many chromosomes as the parent cell. (Strictly, the grandparent cell, since meiosis involves two divisions, and the halving occurs in the first division.)
But some species, including all plants as well as some animals, form gametes by mitosis, and in these species the chromosome number is the same in the gametes as in the cells from which they are formed.

How many chromosomes will a gamete of this organism have?
It varies from organism to organism. Humans have 23 chromosomes in a haploid (gamate) cell.
How many chomosomes in your body?
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.
How many chromosomes would a tetraploid potato gametic cell contain?
The gamete would contain half the number of chromosomes as the tetraploid parent cell.
In what type of human cell is the chromosome number 23?
No, there are 46 chromosomes in the human body cell. However, there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete cell.
Normal human gametes carry how many chromosomes?
For human, a gamete has 23 chromosomes.Sex cell = 23chromosomes (n)Body cell = 46 chromosomes (2n)
How many chromosomes are contained in a human male gamete cell?
In a gamete (sex) cell, there are 23 chromosomes. A gamete is a haploid, or n, whereas a somatic (normal) cell is a diploid, or 2n, and has 46 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes does a egg in an onion have?
There are 8 chromosomes in an onion egg (or gamete) cell.
How many chromosomes are in normal human sex cell?
There are 23 haploid chromosomes in a normal human gamete (sex cell).
How many chromosomes are in each gamete?
Gametes carry half the number of normal chromosomes as a body cell. Since there are normally 46, this means there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete.
How many chromosomes would be present in a zebra gamete after meiosis the zebra has 50 chromosomes in its diploid cells?
A gamete has half the number of chromosomes of the somatic (diploid) cell. Therefore a zebra gamete would have 25 chromosomes if 50 is the diploid number.
Is a gamete 2N or N?
A gamete is N (39 chromosomes in the cell) while a body cell is 2N (78 chromosomes; full set).
How many chromosomes should humans have?
In a human cell we should have 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs. We get 23 of these chromosomes from the male gamete (sperm) and the other 23 from the female gamete (egg).
How many chromosomes are in a animal gamete cell?
Depends what animal. In humans its 23.
How many chromosomes does the zygote receive from the mother?
23. A female gamete (sex cell, the egg) contains half the chromosomes that a human cell has - 46. The other half are taken from the male gamete (sperm).
How many chromosomes are in a normal human sex cells?
There are 23 haploid chromosomes in a normal human gamete (sex cell).
How many chromosomes will a gamete of this organism have?
It varies from organism to organism. Humans have 23 chromosomes in a haploid (gamate) cell.
How many chomosomes in your body?
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.
