You get the other 23 from the opposite sex. The semen and the egg combines and gets 46 chromosomes. If each gamete contained 46 chromosomes, the zygote would contain 92 chromosomes.
In a normal Human body cell (not a gamete) there are 46 chromosomes. This is not the same number of chromosomes in our bodies, only in one cell, and there are trillions of cells in the human body. In a gamete (a sperm cell or egg cell) there are 23 chromosomes. When the sperm and egg cell nuclei fuse in fertilisation, a diploid cell of 46 chromosomes is produced.

Gametes normally contain only one set of chromosome – this number is called Haploid.
If a fruit fly gamete contains 4 chromosomes, then a body cell of a fruit fly would typically contain 8 chromosomes. This is because the gamete only contains half the number of chromosomes found in a normal body cell, following the principle of haploid and diploid states of cells in sexual reproduction.
Human muscle cells are diploid.All human cells are diploid except for gametes (sperms and ova) and the cells that divide to form them (secondary spermatocytes and secondary oocytes).
A gamete will only have one half of the number of chromosomes found in body cells because two gametes have to come together. This means that the two gametes have to have only half of the chromosomes.
A gamete will only have one half of the number of chromosomes found in body cells because two gametes have to come together. This means that the two gametes have to have only half of the chromosomes.
The normal human body contain uranium but only in traces.These traces of U are not dangerous.
Gametes (sperm and eggs) contain only one sex chromosome.
Red blood cells are the only cells in the human body that do not contain a nucleus. They are specialized for carrying oxygen to tissues and do not undergo cell division.
