Normal body cells contain pairs of chromosomes. For example, in humans there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. Of these, 22 pairs (=44 chromosomes) are autosomes and one pair is the sex chromosomes. When gametes are made the number of chromosomes is halved. This is so that when two gametes fuse during fertilisation, the normal chromosome number is restored. So in humans, gametes contain 23 singlechromosomes. Of the 23 single chromosomes in a gamete, 22will be autosomes and one will be a sex chromosome. So, if your question is about humans, the answer is: 22. See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/Biology/cellprocesses/celldivisionrev3.shtml

∙ 12y agoThere are 22 autosomes (any chromosome that isn't a sex chromosome) and 1 sex chromosome this is because when fertilisation occurs one sex cell from the female combines with one sex cell of the male and this produces the 2 sex chromosomes and 44 autosomes.

∙ 15y agoIt's either a. 22 autosomes 1 sex chromosome b. 1 autosome 22 sex chromosomes c. 45 autosomes 1 sex chromosome d. 1 autosome 45 sex chromosomes
Well its for sure not A or B!

How many chromosomes does a male gametes have?
It is different for different species but in Humans, each sperm (male gamete) has 23 chromosomes out of which 22 are autosomes and 1 is a sex chromosome.
How do autosomes differ from sex cells?
Autosomal Chromosome are your body cells(i.e Skin cells) while Sex Chromosomes are your Sperm Cells and Egg Cells or "Gamete(s)"
What cell type could have 22 chromosomes and a Y chromosome?
The cell type that has 22 autosomes and an X sex chromosome is a gamete, such as an egg or sperm cell.

How many autosomes are present in a mouse gamete?
A normal mouse gamete would have 19 autosomes.
How many autosomal are present in each human gamete?

How many chromosomes does a male gametes have?
It is different for different species but in Humans, each sperm (male gamete) has 23 chromosomes out of which 22 are autosomes and 1 is a sex chromosome.
How many autosomes are there in a human sex cell?
A human gamete has 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome. However, special cases may arise due to aneuploidy which can result in two copies of an autosome, e.g. chromosome 21, 18, etc. or the non-disjunction of sex chromosomes, X and/or Y.
How do autosomes differ from sex cells?
Autosomal Chromosome are your body cells(i.e Skin cells) while Sex Chromosomes are your Sperm Cells and Egg Cells or "Gamete(s)"

The cell type that has 22 autosomes and an X sex chromosome is a gamete, such as an egg or sperm cell.
How many chromosomes are in a mouse's gamete?
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.
How many autosomes?
21 autosomes becasue chromosome 21 has three chromosomes and chromosome 23 is the sex chromosome - the allosome
