∙ 16y agoWe have to know which species you are talking about. Mammal gametes have only one apiece but lizards and bird have two of three. And there are other weird combinations to be had.

Sex chromosomes in humans are called homologous chromosomes.
In each pair the form groups is taken from each of the parent , and inherited there are different organisms of chromosomes humans however have 46 this is the split to 23 for humans .

What is a cell with paired chromosomes called?
Somatic (diploid) cells have pairs of chromosomes. They have 46 chromosomes, making 23 pairs. All the cells in the human body are diploid cells, with the exception of the gametes (sperm and ova).Gametes are sex cells (eggs and sperm), they only have 23 chromosomes total. This is because they will combine with another gamete to form an embryo that will have 46.
Is the sex of the offspring of a cow determined by the egg or sperm?
The sex of the offspring is always determined by the sperm: this is the same in pretty well all animal life, including human reproduction. The gamete in a cow always carries the X chromosome. The gametes in a bull carry both X and Y chromosomes, which mean that if the sperm with an X chromosome fuses with the gamete of the cow, the offspring will be female. If the sperm carries a Y chromosome and fuses to the female gamete of the cow, then the offspring will be male.
What does an autosome do in the human body?
An autosome is a non-sex chromosome. It is an ordinarily paired type of chromosome that is the same in both sexes of a species. For example, in humans, there are 22 pairs of autosomes. The X and Y chromosomes are not autosomal. Non-autosomal chromosomes are usually referred to as sex chromosomes, allosomes or heterosomes.
How many chromosomes in the sex cells of a dog?
72, I think.
How many body cell chromosome number in a guinea pig?
Guinea pigs have 64 chromosomes in body cells and 32 chromosomes in sex cells.
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 are in normal human sex cell?
There are 23 haploid chromosomes in a normal human gamete (sex cell).
How many sex chromosomes are in a human gamete?
There are two sex chromosomes, X and Y. A female has XX and a male has XY.
How many chromosomes are present in a normal human sex cell?
There are 23 haploid chromosomes in a normal human gamete (sex cell).
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 c hromosomes are in a human GAMETE?
21 somatic chromosomes + 2 sex chromosomes (XX in an ovum or XY in a sperm).
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.
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 humans sex cells?
There are 23 haploid chromosomes in a normal human gamete (sex cell).
How many homologous pairs of chromosomes does a diploid human cell have?
A human gamete does not have any pairs of homologous chromosomes. A single human gamete contains 23 chromosomes, or a half set. None of these chromosomes are homologous with each other.
Why does a gamete only contain 23 in the human body?
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.
How many sets of chromosomes are found in an organism gametes?
In organisms where meiosis occurs to create gametes, sex cells are made to have half as many chromosomes as regular body cells have. For example, a human man's sex cell or gamete would have 23 chromosomes and the non-sex cells in his body (the ones that aren't produced in his testes) would contain 46 chromosomes. This is for the purpose of creating progeny that have an increased variety of genetic information. This is possible because the male gamete combines with the female gamete to create a whole new organism with a new combination of genetic information that has the correct number of chromosomes.
