chromosomes are found in the nucleusIn DNA.Nucleus
haploid means only one set of chromosomes that is one chromosomes is present only one time sperm and egg are haploid means that their nucleus have only one set of chromosomes remember that gametes are always HAPLOID therefore egg and sperm are haploid
The Chromosomes are found in the Nucleus of a cell, along with other genetic information.
Sex cells (better known as gametes) being product of meiosis have single set (haploid number) of chromosomes whereas body cells have diploid number. Thus, 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XY), thus 46 chromosomes are present in our body cells. The gametes (sex cells) contain only 23 chromosomes in each.
Yes. Gametes are specialized sex cells that are only found in the reproductive organs of the human body. They are different from somatic cells (or body cells) because they only contain half of a set of chromosomes in their nucleus (23 rather than 46). Two gametes unite to form a zygote and thus a full set of 46 chromosomes come together.
Gametes (sex celles) such as egg and sperm only contain one set of chromosomes this is is called a hapliod nucleus. when the 2 meet this forms a full pair of chromosomes and makes a dapliod nucleus.
Each gamete has only 23 chromosomes
In human gametes, chromosomes are not paired. Instead, each gamete has one set of 23 chromosomes, and is said to be haploid.

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.
4. Two gametes get together to make something new. Just double up!
Gametes are a specific class of cell, which contains chromosomes. Gametes are not a type of chromosome. Most cells in the human body are "diploid," which means they contain two copies of the 23 chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. Of those, two are sex chromosomes: classified as X or Y. Gametes, however, are reproductive cells: egg cells in the female, and sperm cells in the male. Gametes are "haploid," which means they only contain one copy of of the 23 chromosomes, and only one sex chromosome (an X in an egg cell, or an X or Y in a sperm cell).

Since you need 46 chromosomes total to function properly, and each of your parents have 46 chromosomes, you need to get 23 chromosomes from each of your parents in order to have the correct number of 46 chromosomes. You get 22 somatic chromosomes (autosomes) and 1 sex chromosome from each parent. Of course, during oogenesis or spermatogenesis, there could be nondisjunction, resulting in you receiving more or less chromosomes than you should. An example of this is Down Syndrome, where you receive an extra copy of Chromosome 21 from either parent. However, generally you will only receive 23 chromosomes from each parent (through their gametes) so that when they combine, you will have the correct 46 chromosomes. That is why gametes (haploid) have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells (diploid).
The chromosomes in your skin are identical to the chromosomes every other one of your body's cells with the exception of gametes. The chromosomes of your sperm and eggs have only half of the chromosomes that are found in your skin cells.
