A primary spermatocyte with 46 chromosomes will undergo meiosis and yield four spermatids with 23 chromosomes. A primary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis I two haploid secondary spermatocytes are produced.
Somatic (body) cells are diploids or 2n, and thus contain a full set a chromosomes, sperm cells are gametes (sex cells) and thus are diploids or n, and contain a half set of chromosomes or 23 chromosomes (assuming there are no mutations).
The result of meiosis is when a parent cell produces reproductive cells. For both female and males, the final number of chromosomes is half of the first one............... example: if an organism has 46 chromosomes, the end result is 23 chromosomes. Chromosomes from the male and female together make 46 chromosomes. These chromosomes pair up and start making the offspring's traits.
will produce 46 chromosomes in its daughter nuclei also
Meiosis produces cell with half the genetic material of the original cell. Therefore in this case the gametes would contain 23 chromosomes.
After meiosis, each cell should have 23 chromosomes
Human cells contain forty-six chromosomes each. An exception to this is gametes (oocytes and sperm), which contain twenty-three chromosomes each.
Humans have 23 chromosomes in their sex cells.
haploid - they contain a single set of unpaired chromosomes
A single complete set of chromosomes is called a haploid set of chromosomes. It is generally represented by the letter N. In humans for example, there are a total of 46 chromosomes per somatic cell. Since there are two copies of each chromosome. the 2N number for human is 46 and N = 23.
The type of cells that contain 23 single chromosomes are sex cells. The females would carry ova in the ovaries and the males will carry sperm in the testicles.

Chromosomes are located in every cell of the body humans have 24 chromosomes, so there are 24 chromosomes in one single cell
Haploid cells that contain single stranded chromosomes
In humans there are 23 single chromosomes. In a zygote there are 23 pairs.

Gametes Have 23 Single Chromosomes, this means at fertilisation the pairs join together to make 23 pairs of Chromosomes. This is because Gametes are unspecialised cells so don't need all the Chromosomes that specialised cells have.
Prokaryotes contain a single circular chromosome. Some also carry smaller plasmids that are also round and contain few genes, transferred from bacterium to bacterium by conjugation.
