How many chromosomes are in a human egg cell?
Twenty-three chromosomes are in a human egg cell. 22 are autosomes, the other is an X chromosome.
Human cell contains ---------- chromosomes12182646?
All human cells contain 46 chromosomes except for the sperm and egg cells which contain 23 each.
Does the y chromosome in the male sex cell have a mitochondria?
No, the Y chromosome in the male sex cell (sperm) does not have mitochondria. Mitochondria are inherited from the mother's egg cell, as they contain mitochondrial DNA. The Y chromosome carries genes that determine male sex characteristics.

Do diploid cells have 23 chromosomes?
If you're talking about a human cell, then no. Diploid means you have two complete sets of chromosome. For a human, this would be 46. A human cell is haploid when it has only 23 chromosomes - this is the case for the sex cells: sperm and egg each have 23 chromosomes.The issue can be confused if you discuss chromosome pairs...in which case, 23 pairs of chromosomes in a human cell makes it a diploid cell.
Why is a human cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome a sperm?
Human somatic (body) cells contain two sets of 23 chromosomes. Human gametes (sperm and egg cells) contain one set of 23 chromomes -- 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. Only a sperm cell can carry a y chromosome. A sperm cell can also carry an x chromosome. The ovum can carry only an x chromosome, never a y chromosome. So a cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome must be a sperm cell.
In what type of human cell is the chromosome number 23?
No, there are 46 chromosomes in the human body cell. However, there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete cell.
What sex chromosome is found in human egg cell?
By human egg cell I guess you mean the oocyte (the one produced by the mother). The oocyte always carries the X chromosome, the sperm can either carry the Y or the X chromosome. Interestingly, the sperm which carries the Y is actually quicker than the one carrying the X, maybe because the X chromosome is far larger. So, if the Y chromosome sperm reaches the egg first, the child will be a boy (XY), and if the X chromosome sperm beats him to it, the child will be a girl (XX).
What percentage of human sperm Cells carry an X chromosome?
50 % of human sperm Cells are an X chromosome, the other half are a Y chromosome: {diploid = 2n = 1 chromosome pair; haploid = n = 1 chromosome - including the meiotic single chromosome = n}. All sperm and egg Cells carry one set each of n (23 single) chromosomes. When a sperm and an egg combine either: a) a sperm Cell with the X chromosome merges with the [X-chromosome] egg Cell and the baby will be a girl; or b) a sperm Cell with the Y chromosome merges with the egg Cell and the baby will be a boy.
If an egg cell contains 50 chromosome how many chromosome are in a sperm cell from the same species?
50

What is a cell with one-half the regular number of a chromosome?
A sperm cell or an egg cell.
What is the difference between human skin cell and human egg cell?
What is the Difference between egg and human cell membrane?
Female sex cells contain a 1 X chromosome b 2 X chromosomes c 1 Y chromosome or d None of these and why?
All human female egg cells contain X chromosomes, each cell only contains one chromosome. The male sperm cells can contain either an X or a Y chromosome (one or the other, not both). That is what determines the sex of the child, two Xs and its a girl, one x and one y and its a boy. -X
Does the y chromosome in the male sex cell have a mitochondria?
No, the Y chromosome in the male sex cell (sperm) does not have mitochondria. Mitochondria are inherited from the mother's egg cell, as they contain mitochondrial DNA. The Y chromosome carries genes that determine male sex characteristics.
How many egg chromosome in a human?
23 chromosomes
