egg cells and sperm cells
Elephants have a diploid number of 56 chromosomes, which means their egg cells (ova) contain half of that number, or 28 chromosomes. This is typical for many species, where egg and sperm cells contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic (body) cells.
The cells formed in female reproductive organs that contain stored food are called oocytes or egg cells. These cells are produced in the ovaries and are surrounded by granulosa cells that provide nourishment and support. When an oocyte is released during ovulation, it travels through the fallopian tube for potential fertilization by sperm.
Cells usually don't contain other cells.
All of them (in humans), apart from sperm and egg cells (which contain 23)
The female egg caries two X's(XX) and the male caries XY
Eggs are usually fertilized in the uterus.
All human cells contain 46 chromosomes except for the sperm and egg cells which contain 23 each.
An egg will have the X chromosome and the sperm will have an X or Y chromosome.
a fertilized egg cell
Diploid cells contain twice the number of chromosomes as haploid cells. Sex cells (sperm and egg) are haploids. Therefore, if the diploid number is 16, sperm and egg cells must contain 8 each.
