The only place you would be able to find a cell with 23 chromosomes would be in the sex cells (sperm cells of egg cells). There are 46 chromosomes in the human body. This is because when a sperm cell fertilises the egg cell, both with 23 single chromosomes, they join to make 46.
you would find them in the sex cells or gametes..
hope this helps .. =)
Egg and sperm cells
.
There are 23 pairs * 2n = 46 chromosome pairs.
Human sex cells which only have a haploid number of chromosomes. 23 total chromosomes. Red blood cells have no chromosomes also.
Body cells have "pairs" of chromosomes while sex cells have only single sets of chromosomes. The human body cells have 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes for a total of 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes.But sex cells (sperm or ovum, known as gametes or diploid cells) contain only 23 chromosomes (unpaired), when they meet (forming a Zygote), the 23 from each male and female gamete form a cell containing 46 chromosomes to make a Haploid cell.Normal body cells (known as a haploid cells) contain 46 chromosomes (or 23 pairs of chromosomes).There are genetic diseases/disorders such as Down's syndrome that occasionally have one more.Normally, 46. Unless aneuploidy occurs.46 Chromosomes in human body
Sex cells, called gametes, are different to other cells in that they contain half the number of chromosomes. So in a human sex cell, there are 23 chromosomes, whereas a normal human cell has 46 chromosomes.
In a somatic cell: 46 chromosomes.In a sex cell: 23 chromosomes.
Every cell has all the chromosomes (23 pairs) apart from sex cells -spermatozoa and ovum. These cells are termed haploid and have an unpaired 23 chromosomes.
There are 23 pairs * 2n = 46 chromosome pairs.
Reproductive system. Meiosis is the formation of gametes which unlike regular cells have 23 unpaired chromosomes compared to regular cells which have 23 paired chromosomes or 46 total chromosomes, in humans that is.
Human sex cells which only have a haploid number of chromosomes. 23 total chromosomes. Red blood cells have no chromosomes also.
A cell that contains both copies of each chromosome is called a Diploid cell.

A sperm cell contains 23 [unpaired] chromosomes.
No. The sex cells have only one set of 23 chromosomes.
The parent cell will be diploid and contain paired chromosomes. The haploid cell will contain only one copy of each chromosome. In humans for example there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. In a somatic cell, which is diploid, the 23 pairs are present. In a gamete (sperm or egg cell), which is haploid there are only 23 chromosomes - unpaired. This is so that when the sperm and egg meet at fertilisation there are 46 chromosomes - 23 pairs - the correct number for the organism.
They bouth only have 23 chromosomes.
A primary spermatocyte will have 46 chromosomes or chromatids. Primary spermatocytes are diploid cells. Secondary spermatocytes are haploid cells with only 23 chromosomes.
