Sperm cells, or gametes normally have 23 chromosomes each.
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.
A normal human body (somatic) cell normally has 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23). A normal human gamete (sperm or ovum) has 23 chromosomes.
No, a gamete has half the number of chromosomes as compared to the organisms body cells.
Female cells contain the sex chromosomes XX. A female gamete (ovum/egg) contains one X chromosome.
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.
Sperm cells, or gametes normally have 23 chromosomes each.
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.
You get the other 23 from the opposite sex. The semen and the egg combines and gets 46 chromosomes. If each gamete contained 46 chromosomes, the zygote would contain 92 chromosomes.

39 chromosomes in each gamete
A zygote has twice the amount of chromosomes as a gamete.
Human gametes have 23 chromosomes. (In cases of abnormality there may be a different number of chromosomes in a gamete).
