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.

How many chromosomes from each egg and sperm?
There are 23 chromosomes from the egg and 23 chromosomes from the sperm making it 46 in total when they both fuse together.
How many total chromosomes are in each body cell?
all cells of body except egg and sperm have 23 pairs of chromosomes i.e. 46...but egg and sperm have 23 chromosomes
How many total chromosomes are typically found in a human cell?
In a somatic cell: 46 chromosomes.In a sex cell: 23 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are their in giraffe sperm?
Giraffes have a total of thirty chromosomes, or fifteen pairs.
Eggs contain 23 chromosomes and sperm carry?
Also 23, to make a total of 46
How many chromosomes are in a sperm cell and in an egg cell?
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.
How many chromosomes does an animal sperm have?
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.
After completeing meiosis 2human sex cells have a total of chromosomes?
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.
What is a cell with pairs of chromosomes called?
Somatic (diploid) cells have pairs of chromosomes. They have 46 chromosomes, making 23 pairs.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.
How many chromosomes are found in an adult gorilla?
46 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes; total= 48
How many chromosomes does a germ cell contain?
23. Germ cells (sperm and egg cells) are haploid, which is to say they possess half of the total number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. Somatic cells in humans have two sets of 23 unique chromosomes for a total of 46 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes in total would be in a sperm cell a grasshopper?
If it had 180 chromosomes in it's diploid stage (a normal body cell) you could expect to find 90 in its gametes.
