Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes for a total of 46.
Reproductive cells, also known as gametes, contain half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in the body. This is because during sexual reproduction, gametes from two parents combine to form a new individual with a complete set of chromosomes. In humans, for example, gametes contain 23 chromosomes each, while most other cells in the body have 46 chromosomes.

the haploid cells or the gammet cells are also known as the reproductive cells in animals, they are also known as the sex cells
they don't contain half, they contain the full amount of chromosomesEdited answer:Because reproductive cells (male & female gametes) are formed after undergoing meiosis to have only single set of chromosomes (haploid). After gametic union both parent contribute one set and hence double set of chromosomes with double amount of DNA is restores in the offspring.

Answer:Both have haploid number of chromodomes i.e they contain half no. of chromosomes which is 23 while our other body cells contain 46 chromosomes.
Reproductive cells or sex cells of an organism contain haploid number of chromosomes. All other body cells (or somatic cells) contain diploid number of chromosomes
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.
It will be 24 in the zygote since zygote is diploid cell and gametes are haploid.
As you may know, almost all our cells contain pairs of chromosomes - 23 pairs to be exact. These are called diploid. Haploid cells contain only one chromosome from each pair. Reproductive cells (both male and female) are haploid, so they can fuse and form a diploid cell with chromosomes from both the male and the female. The female reproductive cell (which is haploid) is the ovum, or egg cell.
Cells produced by meiosis are called daughter cells which contain one haploid of chromosomes. So, these cells are called haploid daughter cells.
Each of her cells should have 46 chromosomes, with the exeption of reproductive cells. Those have 23 chromosomes.
