If it had 180 chromosomes in it's diploid stage (a normal body cell) you could expect to find 90 in its gametes.
There are 23 chromosomes from the egg and 23 chromosomes from the sperm making it 46 in total when they both fuse together.
n/2 where n is the total number of chromosomes normally present in that animal.For example humans have 46 chromosomes in a somatic cell, and 23 chromosomes in a germ cell (sperm / egg).Different species often have different numbers of chromosomes. In fact different numbers of chromosomes are why a donkey and a horse can mate to produce a mule, but the mule cannot reproduce.
No. A sperm cell and an egg cell released from an ovary contain half the chromosomes as other cells until the sperm enters the egg cell and its chromosomes join that of the egg. At that point the egg cell becomes a new individual with a full complement of chromosomes. In humans a person gets 23 chromosomes from the mother and 23 from the father for a total of 46.
Sperm and eggs have half as many chromosomes as other cells because they are Gametes which contain one set of chromsomes, as opposed to the regular two. (The 2 join and you end up with a total of 46, total chromosome count for humans.) Hope this helped.
Dogs have 37 pairs of chromosomes. As with pairs of shoes, the number of pairs is multiplied by 2 to get the total number of chromosomes in a dog's body cells. Therefore, the total number of chromosomes in a dog's body cells is 76. Sex cells, (sperm or eggs) have half of the pair, so would have 34 chromosomes. ________ The above is incorrect, dogs have 78 chromosomes meaning they have 39 pairs.

all cells of body except egg and sperm have 23 pairs of chromosomes i.e. 46...but egg and sperm have 23 chromosomes
The number of chromosomes found in either and egg of sperm is half the number of chromosomes found in a normal cell of the organism. For example, if you are thinking of a human sperm or egg cell is would be 23 chromosomes, since the normal human cell has 46.
Giraffes have a total of thirty chromosomes, or fifteen pairs.
Also 23, to make a total of 46
Each gamete (or egg/sperm cell) has 23 chromosomes. So both egg & sperm cells have 23 chromosomes, however because gametes undergo meiosis the chromosomes are haploids so they don't look like X's. So they are not actually in pairs, as just eggs & sperm. They pair up once an egg is fertilized.

Diploid cells are cells which contain 2 sets of chromosomes, which will later be divided into two sets of 23 chromosomes for each daughter cell. The total will come up to be 46 chromosomes. The other type of cell is a haploid. A haploid is a sex cell which contains 23 chromosomes. Later when the sperm enters the egg, or the egg meets the sperm the two sets of DNA (One from the sperm, and the other from the egg) will pair up to make another cell with 46 chromosomes. Different animals have different amounts of chromosomes. I have bases this answer on human cells.
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.
In a somatic cell: 46 chromosomes.In a sex cell: 23 chromosomes.
