In a human, 23 chromosomes (formally known as the diploid number) - half the total in an embryo. The other half come from the egg.
A human has 46 chromosomes
True. Sperm and egg cells are gametes, and thus are necessarily haploid. These haploid gametes were created through the process of meiosis. When the two fuse to create an embryo, the new embryo will then have 46 chromosomes, the full number for a human. The embryo will receive one copy of each chromosome from each parent. If sperm and egg cells were to have the full set of 46 chromosomes, with both copies of each chromosome from each parent, then when they fused the embryo would have 92 chromosomes total. And the progeny of that embryo would have an even higher number of chromosomes. Having haploid gametes is necessary to maintain the stability of the species.
There are 23 chromosomes in a sperm cell. This is half the genetic material required to form a complete embryo.
46 is the diploid number of chromosomes in a human cell and 23 is the total number of haploid cells in humans
23 chromosomes are present in spermatids
The X and Y sex chromosomes. If the embryo inherits an X and Y chromosome, it will be male. If the embryo inherits two X chromosomes, it will be female.
In a human, 23 chromosomes (formally known as the diploid number) - half the total in an embryo. The other half come from the egg.
There are 23 chromosomes in each the sperm and the egg. When they fuse, the resulting embryo will have 46 chromosomes.
Every normal human cell has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), so every human gamete has 23 chromosomes. Rarely, a human cell might have an extra chromosomes and that some times causes the death of the embryo or a deformity like Down's.

A human has 46 chromosomes
Each human cell has 46 chromosomes divided into 23 pair.
46 chromosomes, they are grouped into 23 pairs.

There are 46 chromosomes in a normal human cell and 23 in the sex cells. People with down syndrome has 47 chromosomes.
There are 23 chromosomes in a sperm cell. This is half the genetic material required to form a complete embryo.
