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.

How many chomosomes in your body?

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 the gamete of a fruit fly contains 4 chromosomes home many chromosomes would you find in a body cell of a fruit fly?

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.


Are the gamete cell of your body haploid or diploid?

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).


Why must gamete have only half the number of chromosomes found in a body cell?

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.


Why must a gamete have only one half the number of chromosomes in body cells?

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.
