How many chromosomes do human egg cells and sperm cells have?
There are 23 chromosomes in a human sperm or egg (ovum).Of these, 22 are autosomes, and there is one sex chromosome: either an X or a Y. So 23 is the human haploid number.
Has how many chromosomes withn the egg 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.
How many chromosomes are present in human sex cells?
The human sex cell or human gamete has half the number of cells that any other normal human cell would have. A normal human cell (the one from your skin, mouth, lung, liver, sex organs, etc.) has 23 pairs of chromosomes and as such are called diploid cells. The sex cells are haploid having only 23 number of chromosomes as they unite with another haploid cell to create a normal cell with complete set of 23 pairs of chromosomes. The 23rd chromosome on a male human gamete is either the X or the Y chromosome while on the female gamete it is always the X chromosome.
What makes sperm?
Well, to start of you gotta know what chromosomes are, that are x shaped bundels of DNA that cointain gens. In every human cell there are 46 chromosomes. A sperm has 23 of them. When a cell starts reproducing, it doubles It's amount of chromosomes so when it splits, both have 46 chromosomes and thats a normal cell, BUT when creating sperm the cells split AGAIN an then they have 4 sperm cells and each has 23 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes do each human egg cell have?
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.
Why is it important to have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells?
The gametes must have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells because they unite to form a zygote, which is the first body cell of the new organism. For example, human body cells have 46 chromosomes and human gametes (sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the zygote will have 46 chromosomes, and is the first body cell of the new human.

How many sex chromosomes does a sperm carry?
Each parent donates 23 chromosomes to fertilization process however only the male can determin the sex.
What egg or sperm?
they are germ cells, or haploid, as they have half the chromosomes as normal cells (in humans)
How do the chromosomes of a sperm cell differ from chromosomes in other cells of the body?
They have less chromosomes than a normal cell.

How many chromosomes have non somatic cell?
Except in the egg and sperm, all cells are somatic cells and have the normal number of chromosomes.
